Description of problem: After a module with 'REMAKE_INITRD' in 'dkms.conf' is built the old initramfs image is stored with suffix 'old-dkms' and is never erased even after the module is removed from the old kernel tree. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: kernel-install only keeps 3 kernels, but here I had: initramfs-3.18.9-100.fc20.x86_64.img.old-dkms file 0600 121 19808579 2015-04-01 16:38:50 initramfs-3.19.2-201.fc21.x86_64.img.old-dkms file 0644 121 21260873 2015-04-27 18:14:17 initramfs-3.19.3-200.fc21.x86_64.img.old-dkms file 0644 121 21265628 2015-05-13 18:01:14 initramfs-3.19.5-200.fc21.x86_64.img.old-dkms file 0644 121 21279704 2015-06-01 19:21:10 initramfs-3.19.7-200.fc21.x86_64.img.old-dkms file 0644 121 21273159 2015-06-13 19:30:35 initramfs-4.0.4-202.fc21.x86_64.img.old-dkms file 0644 121 21385526 2015-06-29 18:40:30 initramfs-4.0.4-303.fc22.x86_64.img.old-dkms file 0644 121 21445230 2015-07-11 22:27:29 initramfs-4.0.5-300.fc22.x86_64.img.old-dkms file 0644 121 21451761 2015-07-18 15:46:48 initramfs-4.0.6-300.fc22.x86_64.img.old-dkms file 0644 121 21493942 2015-07-29 16:11:40 initramfs-4.0.7-300.fc22.x86_64.img.old-dkms file 0644 121 21495551 2015-07-31 19:51:46 initramfs-4.0.8-300.fc22.x86_64.img file 0644 121 21501300 2015-07-18 15:50:47 initramfs-4.0.8-300.fc22.x86_64.img.old-dkms file 0644 121 21501766 2015-07-18 15:50:07 initramfs-4.1.2-200.fc22.x86_64.img file 0644 121 21526382 2015-07-29 17:32:26 initramfs-4.1.2-200.fc22.x86_64.img.old-dkms file 0644 121 21526888 2015-07-29 17:31:47 initramfs-4.1.3-200.fc22.x86_64.img file 0644 121 21516377 2015-07-31 19:55:36 initramfs-4.1.3-200.fc22.x86_64.img.old-dkms
This is still happening on Fedora 23. The problem recently caused the boot partition to fill up and new kernel installation failed because no space was left.
Sorry for the late reply. I'm discussing it with the new DKMS mantainers.
Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
Still happening in Fedora 24.
