Howdy,
Yeah you may want to delete some older kernels -- but make sure you're deleting ones that aren't currently in use :-)

This is what I do ...
rpm -qa | grep kernelA list like this should show up e.g.:
kernel...
kernel-old...
kernel-older...
You can remove the old kernels with e.g.:
rpm -e kernel-old
rpm -e kernel-older
Depends on your Distro.
dpkg --list | grep linux-image
apt-get remove linux-image-*********-generic
Always leave 2 on the server.
Don't delete the one your currently using :)

Thank you all.
It is easy to make a mistake erasing them manually so I prefer IF !1 0 solution.
yum.conf had installonly_limit=5 by default
Now, after #yum -y update
#rpm -q kernel
kernel-2.6.32-504.1.3.el6.x86_64
kernel-2.6.32-504.3.3.el6.x86_64
kernel-2.6.32-504.8.1.el6.x86_64
Was this a test or for educational purposes ;)

That was a test, kernel now is up-to-date, Webmin does not show it anymore as an available update... and educational purpose too ;-)
Also, with debian based sytems you have apt-get autoremove, providing the new kernel had space to install in the first place, always follow with apt-get autoclean and reboot, checking first that grub.cfg time out is not set to -1 for Ubuntu, it's a bug that they don't want to fix for some reason, set it to 5 or 10 and your server will come back up after reboot.

Okay, I am on Centos 6, no problems at all with that fix
You rebooted yeah? If you don't all is vanity.

Cannot reboot now. Not in a hurry. Thks
Pointless updating the kernel then :) Hope it was not a security issue.

I know. Not a security issue at all, just cannot reboot at this time, some working VS
