[rhn-users] up2date failure

[Bill Duemling <BDUEMLIN parkut com>]

Once again I come to the fountain of knowledge

Up2date has been failing regularly on me, when trying to
do a kernel update.

I have deleted old kernels with rpm -e 
I have deleted left over parts in the /boot partition that
seemed to reference old kernel related items

The kernel RPM's sucessfully download into
/var/spool/up2date

But fail, due to lack of disk space.  How can I resolve this?

Testing package set / solving RPM inter-dependencies...

########################################

kernel-smp-2.4.18-27.7.x.i6 ######################### Done.

There was a fatal RPM error.  The message was:
Failed installing packages:
('installing package kernel-2.4.18-27.7.x needs 11Mb on the / filesystem',
(9, '/', 11220992))
