With Advanced Server, the warning for /boot only appeared if you were at less than 20 megs. The /boot was set to 20MB In addition, the pop-up warning should be give prior to leaving the 'disk setup screen', when the user has a chance to remedy the error. Right now, when the user sees the 'pop-up' warning re: /boot partition size being too small it's too late to do anything about it. A reinstallation is required. We can't tell exactly how much space is required until after we've loaded the full header lists, which may require turning on swap and thus after we've committed your partitioning changes to disk. There are guidelines which are in the installer which we warn you at -- with Red Hat Linux Advanced Server, the warning for /boot is triggered by having the partition be less than 20 megs. That doesn't always mean that you need 20 megs or that 20 megs is always enough, but it's a rule of thumb sort of thing. |
