Hello Fred,
yes, this might indeed be an issue.
The updater will catch that and not install the update if not enough disk space is available on either / or /boot.
So you can try, but it might make sense to reinstall or if you are very brave remove the old kernel and then install the update :)

FYI – some of the very old firewalls, installed long ago before there was an x86-64 version, have VERY small /boot partitions. This may pose issues updating to Core 122.
This screen shot was taken from a very old IPFire system running the x586 version:
[root@fw ~]# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on devtmpfs 1001M 4.0K 1001M 1% /dev tmpfs 1006M 12K 1006M 1% /dev/shm tmpfs 1006M 264K 1006M 1% /run /dev/sda3 2.0G 1001M 840M 55% / /dev/sda1 24M 18M 4.4M 81% /boot /dev/sda4 71G 52G 16G 78% /var none 8.0M 12K 8.0M 1% /var/lock none 1006M 16K 1006M 1% /var/log/vnstat none 1006M 32M 975M 4% /var/log/rrd
Note that the /boot partition is only 24M in total and has only 4.4M free.
Michael’s posting on the website about maybe it is time for a “clean” reinstall is very much to the point. But this is very hard to do with these older systems. I’m not sure it is possible to install 122 then restore a backup from 120, but I may well be wrong. Best regards, Fred
