Bug required resize /boot partition in linux
Hi,
In my linux box I have installed /boot partition with 100MB. I have done compile for a newer kernel. The both kernels are required to me. Finally /boot partition has using 100%. I need to resize the /boot. Any body give the solution how to do resize the /boot partition without dusturbing the data.

Even with 2 kernels you should not be using 100MB. You should see what else is taking up all that space.

Yes you are right mark54g. But I had a look on the partition once post this thread. There are some files created once compiled the kernel like vmliux*.bz2 those are not required. I taken the backup and deleted the files from partition and rebooted the system for testing. System is fine without any boot errors. Thanks for the reply.
