Linux /boot: Out of Disk Space While Installing Package kernel-2.6.32-131.2.1.el6.x86_64

If you get an "out of disk space" error while installing the package kernel-2.6.32-131.2.1.el6.x86_64 on a Linux system, it may be because the /boot partition does not have enough free space to accommodate the new kernel.

To resolve this issue, you can try one of the following solutions:

1. Delete old kernels:

sudo yum remove $(package-cleanup --oldkernels --count=1 -q)

This will remove the oldest kernel from the system, freeing up some space in the /boot partition.

2. Increase the size of the /boot partition:

• Use a disk partitioning tool, such as gparted, to increase the size of the /boot partition.
• Reboot the system to apply the changes.

3. Install the kernel to a different partition:

• Mount a different partition to the /boot directory.
• Install the kernel to the /boot directory as usual.
