Quite inexplicable ... 

My kernel is 7.1M, System.map 3.4M and config is 114K.  I usually leave a 
total of three kernels and associated files in my ext2 46M /boot partition and 
they all used to fit in there.  I tried to install grub-0.97-r16 on this 
system a number of times, each time removing another spare kernel until I was 
left with the latest kernel and each time it failed to install completely due 
to running out of disk space.

These are the contents of my old /boot/grub/ as restored from a back up:

# ls -la /boot/grub/

Installing grub-0.97-r16 would run out of disk space while trying to copy the 
stage2 file.
