There seem to be two possible solutions 1. To use a live cd and resize /boot 2. To go to the /boot and delete some of the older kernel related entries a 3rd option exists and that is to shift /boot to another larger partition am not trying the 3rd - but will first try the above 2 and see which works and let the list know what happens *** The issue has led to a couple of questions 1. What should be a good size for a /boot - considering that if some one has a LTS version - which means 2 years and the fact that the kernel releases have been fairly frequent. My own Ubuntu 9.10 was installed in Dec 2009 and as of now (june 2010) a 100 MB boot partition has proved inadequate. 2. Is there a need for a separate /boot partition, if so why ?? ram -- ubuntu-in mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
