 Posted: Tue Feb 23, 2010 8:39 pm Post subject: Upgrade Problem [SOLVED] |
 |
|
Today, I' ve downloaded the kernel sources for 2.6.31-r10 (I have 2.6.31-r6). After following the known procedure
| Code: | | $ eselect kernel list |
| Code: |
$ eselect kernel set 3 |
| Code: |
$ cd /usr/src/linux/
$ make menuconfig |
I gave
| Code: | | make && make_modules install install |
but the result was:
| Code: | DEPMOD 2.6.31-gentoo-r10
sh /usr/src/linux-2.6.31-gentoo-r10/arch/x86/boot/install.sh 2.6.31-gentoo-r10 arch/x86/boot/bzImage \
System.map "/boot"
cat: write error: No space left on device
make[1]: *** [install] Error 1
make: *** [install] Error 2
|
Can't find free space in /boot?
I erased 2.6.30-r8 files, but still the same. How can I make bigger my /boot and finish the installation/upgrade of my new kernel?
My df -h:
| Code: | gentoo drphibes # df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3 229G 101G 117G 47% /
udev 10M 168K 9.9M 2% /dev
/dev/sda1 31M 31M 0 100% /boot
shm 502M 0 502M 0% /dev/shm

Well, 31M is kind of small for a boot partition. But, as you say, something isn't adding up right here.
Your df says that 31M is occupied, but your ls is only showing 11M of files.
What kind of file system do you have on /boot?
Is there something laying around the lost+found or grub directory (maybe a 'du /boot' might provide insight)?
My /boot/grub directory is only 500K. |

I guess /boot is ext2 or ext3 and problem is probably caused by inode number. There are already topics with similar problems on forums. It's probably the best to backup /boot, then reformat it with proper options and restore it's content.
Give us the output of:

And my du /boot:
| Code: | gentoo drphibes # du /boot
12 /boot/lost+found
447 /boot/grub
6 /boot/.Trash-0/info
19434 /boot/.Trash-0/files
19441 /boot/.Trash-0

Now it's quite obvious... Extra baggage is caused by .Trash-0 directory and it's contents. I guess this should be safe (check the contents first of course):
| Code: | | # rm -fr /boot/.Trash-0/files/* |

It contains the previous kernel's files! That's why is so big.
So, I erase it! |

Well yeah, you have ~19 MB of free space left on boot.  |
