This is practically everything tho, eg for filesystems; https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Filesystems

I think it wasn't enough. What I my options to reduce kernel size or increase /boot partition? You don't need a /boot partition ;-) /boot is just a directory here. Worked like that for years and years.

It is empty. I can delete the dir. but it will not gain me much space. I've move the *-old to a root dir not know and copied just new kernel to /boot ll -alh /boot/lost+found/ total 13K drwx-- 2 root root 12K Dec 17 2011 . drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 1.0K Mar 5 17:20 .. -- Thelma

But I recommend to bump that size of the partition up, really. 32M is so 1990s. -- Regards, Kai Replies to list-only preferred.
