What on earth do you keep in your /boot? I've been using 204M /boot for
several years, and can't remember even with 8 kernels installed finding less
than 1/3 free on /boot.
I was using the 'preupgrade' tool -- it creates an Anaconda image in
/boot, and the next time you restart, it runs the installer from the
boot partition. Kind of requires quite a bit of space.
And yes, before that, my 160 MB /boot is enough for multiple kernels.
