The nicest thing is that the answer is still valid 10 years on (or is it? I'm a Ubuntu/Debian man).
The thread was already closed and marked SOLVED with another answer, for a VERY old version of CentOS.
Yes, it is, but jhasaurav reopened several very old threads with the same sort of thing.
Necroposting in threads that are already marked SOLVED with answers isn't a good thing. Telling people running the current version of Ubuntu that they should update their 'kernal' to greater than version 3 will make their problems disappear (Ubuntu is WAY past 3), or that having 2GB for a / partition is quite another.
