One nitpick: I believe that installing a new kernel means installing
the new kernel, and only if that is successful removing an old one. (At
least that's how I would do it so I had a fallback if the installation
fails.) In that case if you want N kernels installed, /boot has to have
room for at least N + 1 kernels.

My preferred /boot size these days is 512M.
