You should realize that the error message you are getting makes little sense. Chances are your system has 3 kernels installed and potentially a "rescue" kernel. With that your /boot has 187MB used with 271MB available. 41% of the disk space has been consumed. It doesn't make any sense that the next kernel will need 271MB + 34MB to install. As a comparison. I have 3 kernels installed (including 4.16.11-300) + a "rescue" kernel and [root@meimei boot]# df /boot Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda1 1408512 214880 1104032 17% /boot Or just 214MB used in total. The first message shows "needs 34MB on the /boot filesystem" which seems about right. On my system... initramfs-4.16.10-300 = 22MB vmlinuz-4.16.10-300 = 8.3MB System.map-4.16.10-300 = 3.9MB The fact that the next message says " At least 34MB more space needed..." seems to be saying that dnf think the /boot filesystem is full. -- Conjecture is just a conclusion based on incomplete information. It isn't a fact.
