Ouch, I've just got bitten by this. I'm trying to update a 6.x machine to 7-current, and couldn't install the kernel because there's no space for in on the root file system. This is an old-style root file system of 256 MB. By fiddling around I've managed to free enough space, and I see now that my new /boot/kernel's size is 106 MB! This means I can't hold both kernel and kernel.old on the root file system. This may need to be addressed in upgrade documents. (And others - for example, tuning(7) still implicitly recommends a 128 MB root file system)= =2E --------------enig2263C07A499962078D4A17D5 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.4 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGWCBMldnAQVacBcgRAkV1AKDOhdHkiQTPNFahZ/0KYOKIiJJQOACguClb MlBlo1ZLQUc8nvlhBwCkIyY= =YCvE -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig2263C07A499962078D4A17D5--
