Yep. Minimum for that is going to be about the same as your RESCUE. The
other would just be to confirm that the sda has space and nothing still

it which it was trying to work around.
In CentOS releases 5 --> 6 --> 7
the demand for /boot size doubles if not triples with each release...
Otherwise one day you may fill it up before number of kernels will be
such that kernel update will remove oldest kernel. And _we_ called
Windows 2000 "bloated pig" when it was released... Sigh.
Software seems to grow to the maximum space it can occupy.
Of course, this is true. I do remember big upgrade: 40 MB hard drive
replacing 20 MB one. Still, during the same decade an a half covering
CentOS releases I mentioned, on my FreeBSD boxes /boot grew up less than
twice, whereas on my CentOS boxes it grew up at least 5 times. I safely
run CentOS 5 through its whole lifespan with /boot as small as 200MB. On
CentOS 7 I make /boot 3 GB (maybe slight overkill, but boxes with 1 GB
went into /boot size issue after several kernel updates). But what one
can do: Linux kernel has a lot of stuff that, hmm..., one can probably
live without, and what comes with Linux distributions covers widest
variety of hardware it will run on ;-)

PS Yes, I run and programmed for machines with 4 - 16 Kb of RAM, and now
administer machine with almost 1 TB of RAM. Now you can pretty much
pinpoint my age ;-)
I think in 1989
we were complaining about BSD not being able to fit on our VAX 750's boot
drive anymore and we needed to put in a 40MB drive system instead. I expect
by the 2040's we will be looking at petabyte drives and wondering how we
can fit anything on it.
