Re: Upgrade of kernel fails due to lack of space

    Any other good suggestions, please ?


With 33Mb in / there's really poor room to work, and a kernel install requires space for modules, around 50 for me.
du -sh /lib/modules/*

Easier said than done:
'/' has 93 MB used, and 73 of that is in '/lib':
/lib$ du -h -s
76M     .

And when I look around there, it is mostly kernel stuff.

Actually, after the upgrade to Etch, there were only 18 MB left in '/', and I could already salvage 15 MB. Still, not enough.

It still looks buggy to me, in a wider sense: One cannot permit an install/upgrade that enters a dead-end road. Etch ought not have permitted the upgrade from Sarge (2.4.27), when it would kind of strangle itself. (On Sarge upgrades were no problem).
