[wellylug] Ubuntu too many kernels

[Carl Turney]

Hi,

I've got Ubuntu Hardy, with GRUB 0.97-29ubuntu21.2

My /boot is in its own partition.  I've updated the kernel about 4-5 
times.

The old kernels are accumulating, resulting in (briefly) a 100% full 
boot partition.

(That even resulted in 2.6.24-26 apparently only partially installing.)

Websites advise running Synaptic, Searching, and Completely Removing the 
older versions - then manually removing their references in 
/boot/grub/menu.lst

When I've done this, on those older versions, there are long, confusing 
warning messages in Synaptic, of failed removal scripts... which I can 
see, but not copy and paste for you all to read.  Also, a couple (large) 
files remain in the /boot directory, with names including the version 
numbers half-uninstalled.

Any help?

Do you know if this is all fixed in the upcoming Limp Leprechaun?

Thanks very much,
