I'd consider that bad advice: the defaults sysinstall chooses are

I haven't checked the logs, but I think it would have been more

That sounds like a smart thing to do; can you tell me more about how
to do that (or point me to a www resource; I'm happy to read more

Try rm -r /boot/kernel.old
I bet that's the problem.

A healthy fear, indeed.
For one thing, I'd certainly rather have someone
do rm /boot/kernel.old/*.ko than rm -r /boot/kernel.old.
Being even more selective is an obvious extension...
Why not move the old useless kernel to another drive. Sure if the system
kernel fails and you need the old

Multiple partitions still isn't a bad idea if you ever have to
fsck and even on a desktop / laptop I usually mount /tmp as
noexec.
