Not that I'm aware of, but then I'm still on Fedora 36. > Re-sizing partitions sounds difficult and very risky. Will reducing > the number of kernels from 4 to 3 solves the problem permanently? Well, if the problem is just due to size of the kernels, I'd expect so. Given the right tools it's not too hard to resize, and from one of your posts you do look like you've got one very large partition that you could steal some space from. On my system I've only got a few kernels kept (notice the rescue kernel is much bigger than the rest). I don't recall if the boot partition size was my choice, or the installer picked that size. $ df -h /boot Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda2 974M 282M 626M 32% /boot $ ls -lh /boot total 278M -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 248K Mar 12 03:34 config-6.1.18-100.fc36.x86_64 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 250K May 1 10:42 config-6.2.14-100.fc36.x86_64 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 250K Mar 23 06:18 config-6.2.8-100.fc36.x86_64 drwx------. 4 root root 4.0K Jan 1 1970 efi drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4.0K May 5 2022 extlinux drwx------. 3 root root 4.0K May 3 20:20 grub2 -rw-------. 1 root root 100M Jun 12 2022 initramfs-0-rescue- f700387ca7ba4498a9edcb910aee3078.img -rw-------. 1 root root 35M Mar 20 05:42 initramfs-6.1.18- 100.fc36.x86_64.img -rw-------. 1 root root 36M May 3 19:40 initramfs-6.2.14- 100.fc36.x86_64.img -rw-------. 1 root root 36M Apr 2 06:10 initramfs-6.2.8- 100.fc36.x86_64.img drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root 4.0K Jun 12 2022 loader drwx------. 2 root root 16K Jun 12 2022 lost+found lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 46 Mar 20 05:41 symvers-6.1.18- 100.fc36.x86_64.gz -> /lib/modules/6.1.18-100.fc36.x86_64/symvers.gz lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 46 May 3 19:40 symvers-6.2.14- 100.fc36.x86_64.gz -> /lib/modules/6.2.14-100.fc36.x86_64/symvers.gz lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 45 Apr 2 06:09 symvers-6.2.8- 100.fc36.x86_64.gz -> /lib/modules/6.2.8-100.fc36.x86_64/symvers.gz -rw-------. 1 root root 5.7M Mar 12 03:34 System.map-6.1.18- 100.fc36.x86_64 -rw-------. 1 root root 8.1M May 1 10:42 System.map-6.2.14- 100.fc36.x86_64 -rw-------. 1 root root 8.1M Mar 23 06:18 System.map-6.2.8- 100.fc36.x86_64 -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 12M Jun 12 2022 vmlinuz-0-rescue- f700387ca7ba4498a9edcb910aee3078 -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 13M Mar 12 03:34 vmlinuz-6.1.18- 100.fc36.x86_64 -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 14M May 1 10:42 vmlinuz-6.2.14- 100.fc36.x86_64 -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 14M Mar 23 06:18 vmlinuz-6.2.8-100.fc36.x86_64 My system was a fresh install, so it only has files from one system.
