Howdy,
I'm running FC45 (Rawhide) on a Vivobook with a 4TB SSD and 40GB
memory... and am building the "latest" kernel from kernel.org. As an
aside, I have to say that this system is NOT very good with fonts and
any of the Fedora "releases; 42, 43, 44 and 45).
At the end of the build... installing the kernel and running the "make
install" command, the build failed with "out of space". It seems
that /boot/efi (2GB) is full! Yikes!
Are there guidelines on how to identify old data and remove it SAFELY?
ANY pointers would be VERY MUCH APPRECIATED.
As things are right now, I'm afraid of screwing something up and
breaking my one and ONLY system here... Probably because I don't know
enough about EFI. Sigh... Again, ANY pointers would be VERY MUCH
APPRECIATED.
It seems to me that the older and now unused data should be removed...
by "magic" but either that process is broken or there's a "standard"
methodology for cleaning up this (apparently) VERY important part of
"our" systems that I'm unaware of.
Another thing I have noticed. Kernel updates from the Fedora 45 repo
seem to be SILENTLY failing. The only message I see is from dracut
about a missing shadow file somewhere in /var/tmp....
Again, ANY pointers would be VERY MUCH APPRECIATED.

Encountered the same problem. The buildup is in the /boot/efi/EFI/Linux
directory. It fills with entries of the form

Are you using "make install" as well? I think you've triggered some
special installation mode. It shouldn't be installing there and I don't
even know what that file is.
