And so it did. It checked how much room there was, compared that to its
minimum requirements and exited with an error message, unless my
memory's wrong. What else did you expect?
Your memory is faulty. In the beginning program did not.
A little reminder from Fedora List, 11/17/09, "F12 upgrade needs more
space for /mnt/sysimage/boot" thread, Frank Cox wrote:
"It doesn't for me. I have exactly this problem trying to run preupgrade on my
Acer Aspire One. It goes through the whole production, downloads everything
and at the end it tells me that I need 1.5mb more space in /boot. My only
options at that point are "check again" and "quit". If I quit,
it's game
over. Running preupgrade after that tells me that everything is ready,
reboot. If I do so, grub takes me right back into Fedora 11. The only entry
in grub.conf is the single kernel that I have left on that machine; there's
nothing else that I can see that I could remove from /boot to gain 1.5mb."
