"I think what's using up so much space is that it rebuilds all
initrd.imgs it can find and backups the old ones and then adds
additional entries to your boot menu."
I think it may be doing more than this because I have cleaned out every
single image with the exception of the four I absolutely need, and those
are only 6-7M each. Even if it makes a backup and a new image, I can't
see it using up all of the space. My newest usage stats are below.
I'm really stuck right now because I can't resize my boot partition, and
I can't clean any more out of it. I absolutely cannot upgrade to Gutsy
unless a workaround is found, or the space requirement is lowered. Any
help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
-Ryan
