Howdy.
You don't provide quite enough information, but I can get you close
enough that you should be able to figure it out from there.
If you have a RH based system, you will want to use yum to remove the
oldest one or two kernel RPMs. I'd suggest starting with find out your
current kernel release, and then listing which kernel images are installed:
$ uname -r # so you know what you can't remove
$ rpm -qa | grep kernel-[2-4]
$ sudo yum remove ${package name from above}
If you are using a Debian based system, it's similar:
$ uname -r # so you know what you can't remove
$ dpkg -l linux-image* | grep ^i
$ sudo apt-get remove ${package name from above}
You just want to be sure to leave your current running kernel and the
next youngest version (IMO), and the rest can be removed to free up
space in /boot.
