Hello I would boot a sysrescuelinux or sth like that and then move all partitions after /dev/sda2 "to the right" with "sfdisk --move-data" until enough space exists for /boot to grow. But only with a solid backup of all my data. regards //chriss On 06.04.23 13:21, Fons Adriaensen wrote:
Hello all,
I'm having a problem with updating a laptop: the /boot partition is too small for the new ramfs images.
The system uses GPT partioning and BIOS boot using syslinux.
/dev/sda1 1M Type = BIOS Boot /dev/sda2 /boot 95M Attributes: LegacyBIOSBootable /dev/sda3 / 93G (others for /home, /data and SWAP)
One solution would be to move the /boot directory to / instead of giving it its own partition.
The syslinux wiki page tells me that the absolute sector address of /boot/syslinux/ldlinux.sys plays a role in the boot sequence, so I suspect that just moving the boot directory and removing /dev/sda2 from /etc/fstab won't be enough. Would re-installing syslinux after that do the trick (and also take care of the LegacyBIOSBootable attribute) ?
If not, what would be the correct and safe way to do this ?
TIA,
