<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The other day, I downloaded from Red Hat Network
the latest kernel version for my RH 7.2 system. It wanted 23MB on my "/"
root file system (/dev/hda5) that was not there. I moved /tmp and
/sbin to another filesystem to create the space. I downloaded the
kernel OK and it said "############# 100% complete" but stalled
on "sh: /sbin/grubby" not found. Obviously, it was in another file
system. I restored the /tmp and /sbin and tried to reboot to see if I got
the new kernel. The old kernel was still there and working as the new one
was not successfully installed. The XWindows (Gnome/KDE) did not come
up. I noticed the "/" file system was 100% full even though it
had some space. I removed the /tmp files to another file system and
that freed up 12MB on "/", but df -h still says it is at 100% capacity. I
tried to do a "startx" and it gave me the following:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Could not init font patch element
unix/:7100, removing from list!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Fatal server error:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> could not open default font
'fixed'</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> XIO: fatal IO error 104 (connection reset by
peer) on X Server ":0.0" after 0 </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> requests (0 known processed) with 0 events
remaining</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I did a echo $DISPLAY and it was
empty. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am wondering if the 100% full means it
cannot/will not use the "/" file system and therefore not XWindows boot?
It seems to ignore the 12MB space.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have just installed a second HD and can move some
directories to it to give "/" more space? Also, how do I run the
/sbin/grubby as it will not let me "execute a binary file"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any suggestions will be welcome.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks,</FONT></DIV>
