/bootif filling up with debug kernels

[ssriraj]

Hi Guys,

My /boot partition is filling up with .debug and .debug.img kernels.

Is it safe to remove them?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

It means you have debug kernels installed. Not sure which one you use, may check with uname -r , if no .debug in output you use normal kernel.

The best and safest way to remove .debug kernels is to take a package to whom they belongs then remove it, like:

rpm -qf /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-531.29.2.lve1.3.11.10.el6.x86_64.debug

> kernel-debug-2.6.32-531.29.2.lve1.3.11.10.el6.x86_64

yum erase kernel-debug-2.6.32-531.29.2.lve1.3.11.10.el6.x86_64
