For example from my long running Sid machine that I haven't ever done any cleanup on making it a good example of a lot of kernels. $ dpkg -S /boot/vmlinuz-* linux-image-2.6.39-2-amd64: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.39-2-amd64 linux-image-3.0.0-2-amd64: /boot/vmlinuz-3.0.0-2-amd64 linux-image-3.1.0-1-amd64: /boot/vmlinuz-3.1.0-1-amd64 linux-image-3.10-1-amd64: /boot/vmlinuz-3.10-1-amd64 linux-image-3.10-2-amd64: /boot/vmlinuz-3.10-2-amd64 linux-image-3.10-3-amd64: /boot/vmlinuz-3.10-3-amd64 linux-image-3.16.0-4-amd64: /boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-4-amd64 linux-image-3.2.0-1-amd64: /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-1-amd64 linux-image-3.2.0-2-amd64: /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-2-amd64 linux-image-3.2.0-3-amd64: /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-3-amd64 linux-image-3.2.0-4-amd64: /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-4-amd64 linux-image-3.8-2-amd64: /boot/vmlinuz-3.8-2-amd64 linux-image-3.9-1-amd64: /boot/vmlinuz-3.9-1-amd64 linux-image-4.0.0-1-amd64: /boot/vmlinuz-4.0.0-1-amd64 The newest latest kernel installed is on the bottom. Don't delete it. It is also possible if you haven't rebooted that you will be running an older kernel since something newer was installed. $ uname -r 4.0.0-1-amd64 That is rebooted but another system: $ uname -r 3.9-1-amd64 Don't remove the running kernel nor the latest kernel. Remove all of the others. Bob
BTW What is the linux-header? Is that just to compile my own? Do I need to keep these?
