Yes, it does seem likely that the size of /boot is the culprit. There are currently (as is normal) just two kernel versions in /boot and nothing much else of significance. I assume therefore that the slow increase in kernel size has finally caused this issue. What's the most straightforward way to increase the size of /boot? There's **loads** of disk space available but since /boot is a separate partition I guess I need to run gparted or some such from a USB stick to shrink the / partition and grow /boot a bit. Why is /boot a separate partition? On my other trixie system (not EFI) everything is just one partition. Both systems were installed 'from scratch' and I just let the installer do default partitioning. Does EFI really need to be so much more complicated? -- Chris Green ·
