No space left in the boot

After upgrading from Fedora 7 to Fedora 10, the /boot partition is now 88% used up. Well, I think it would not be able to fit the upgrade from Fedora 10 onwards.

[root@localhost vpnc]# df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted On
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00
55636348 7711344 45098764 15% /
/dev/sda1 194442 161763 22640 88% /boot
tmpfs 451172 76 451096 1% /dev/sdm

Will need to edit the grub.conf and empty the boot folder later.

This is the downside of installing using default installation option all the time.

Update

Gee, so we don't have to edit the grub.conf manually.

I just issued a yum remove kernel-* (old ones) and the /boot partition is cleared automatically.

Cheers!

Update further

If you are using a laptop/machine with Radeon Express 200m graphic chipset, do not attempt any upgrade to Fedora 11.

It has a major compatibility issue with Fedora 11.
