今天想给系统升级一下，所以就运行了yum upgrade命令，结果没有升级成功，原因是我的/boot目录空间不够了
Transaction Check Error:
  installing package kernel-2.6.32-220.17.1.el6.x86_64 needs 18MB on the /boot filesystem

Error Summary
-------------
Disk Requirements:
  At least 18MB more space needed on the /boot filesystem.

好吧，查看了一下boot目录
[root@CC boot]# ls

以前更新内核后，旧内核还留在boot目录里，便于还原。现在新内核经过多天运行，很稳定，所以旧内核都可以删除了

1.查看现运行的内核版本
[root@CC boot]# uname -r
2.6.32-220.13.1.el6.centos.plus.x86_64
 
2.列出所有的内核文件
[root@CC boot]# rpm -q kernel
kernel-2.6.32-131.0.15.el6.x86_64
kernel-2.6.32-220.13.1.el6.x86_64
kernel-2.6.32-220.13.1.el6.centos.plus.x86_64
kernel-2.6.32-220.7.1.el6.x86_64
 
3.删除所有旧的内核文件
（注意不要删除当前系统正在运行的内核文件）
[root@CC boot]# rpm -e kernel-2.6.32-131.0.15.el6.x86_64
[root@CC boot]# rpm -e kernel-2.6.32-220.7.1.el6.x86_64
 
到此，旧的内核文件就安全删除
[root@CC boot]# rpm -q kernel
kernel-2.6.32-220.13.1.el6.x86_64
kernel-2.6.32-220.13.1.el6.centos.plus.x86_64
