On local 3 notebooks, was able to to remove oldest kernel using dnf, and modifying the dnf.conf to only allow 2 kernels. Then the install went thru ok. On one I shifted / partition over 512M and expanded /boot to make it 1.5G now. I've got 5 other machines that are 7 timezones away, and did same process to get them to be able to install new kernels. Current notebook has a 1.5G boot so has the 3 kernels and rescue kernel. /dev/sdb2 1512328 945096 519396 65% /boot Just looking at img files. 180141088 Sep 6 04:19 initramfs-6.16.4-200.fc42.x86_64.img 180182306 Sep 10 02:56 initramfs-6.16.5-200.fc42.x86_64.img 180186104 Sep 12 14:14 initramfs-6.16.7-200.fc42.x86_64.img 278057070 Sep 6 04:21 initramfs-0-rescue-5454d68084c145e496d5ce383b5147de.img Have used dnfup for long time, so not sure if size was changed at some point. Just checked a recent install on 2TB system, and it shows boot as 1G? But seeing its img files about 100M smaller than on this one? 76159287 Sep 5 01:19 initramfs-6.16.4-200.fc42.x86_64.img 79431805 Sep 9 18:32 initramfs-6.16.5-200.fc42.x86_64.img 79753328 Sep 13 19:33 initramfs-6.16.7-200.fc42.x86_64.img 176153063 Sep 1 22:44 initramfs-0-rescue-3b8d97eb0c824e69a66569165466fcc9.img So, not sure why huge difference in sizes?
There was a dracut change that made the initramfs files bigger. There is discussion about changing the setting back.
