Hi,
I see that only 12M available for boot? How to enlarge it?
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 625G 339G 254G 58% /
/dev/sda1 99M 83M 12M 88% /boot
tmpfs 1.8G 0 1.8G 0% /dev/shm
none 1.8G 104K 1.8G 1% /var/lib/xenstored
Since /boot is on /dev/sda1, it is an actual Partition on a hard disk. (A "Primary" partition, as opposed to a "logical" partition).
You will have to re-partition and reload the entire server in order to resize /boot.
I would suggest you find out what kernels you no longer need are stored in /boot and remove them.
Remember to update your bootloader (GRUB, possibly), to remove the old entries.
P.S: Backup the contents of that filesystem before you start deleting things, and get a bootable CD handy.
0. Make backups of everything on your computer.
1. Download GParted Live CD ISO image from http://sourceforge.net/projects/gpar...d?source=files
2. Burn the ISO image to a recordable CD
3. Boot the computer from the CD.
4. The CD has a simple GUI environment where the gparted application is started automatically
5. You can use the GParted GUI to resize, move, create, delete partitions
6. Remove the CD and reboot your computer

Reason: wording
If you back them up somewhere, sure. If you delete the initrd images as well, then you'd have to regenerate them when you put the backed-up kernels back in.
it by DEFAULT saves 3 kernels
the current and one being used
the last two as EMERGENCY BACKUPS
that is unless YOU changed it's behavior
my SL6.2 install is currently using 77 meg .
And for RHEL or one of the rebuilds 100Meg is the normal standard size for /boot
