Cleaning up /boot
Hi there,
RHEL7.5 is run on VM. I have built a few custom kernels and now ran out of space on /boot. What would be a safe way to clean up unused custom kernels.
Note: package-cleanup --oldkernels didn't help as
$ rpm -q kernel
package kernel is not installed
Thanks

package kernel is not installed doesn't sound good.
I don't believe there is a cleanup process for kernel. Maybe the make system has some uninstall command, but just deleting the vmlinuz and config in /boot, and the /lib/modules path, should be sufficient to remove a custom kernel. Those are the only places the install process puts files anyway.
