¶ Updater complains that there's no space in /boot during a kernel update
Nobara by default includes the Nvidia modules in the initramfs to prevent no video issues during LUKS password entry. This ends up taking a lot of space on the /boot partition, especially so if it's coupled with an iGPU.
If you don't use LUKS and want to free up space for more kernels and/or your 1GB (older default size) /boot partition is full and you can no longer update the kernel you have 2 options.
¶ 1. Remove the nvidia modules from the initramfs
¶ Method A
Open Driver Manager (or run nobara-driver-tui in a terminal) and Install this profile shown in the screenshot
If for some reason you have no Internet connectivity in the state your system is at the moment, proceed with Method B.
¶ Method B
- Create the file that excludes the modules from being packaged into the initramfs
echo 'omit_drivers+=" nvidia nvidia_drm nvidia_modeset nvidia_peermem nvidia_uvm "' | sudo tee /usr/lib/dracut/dracut.conf.d/99-nvidia-module.conf
- Rebuild the initramfs
sudo dracut -f --regenerate-all
¶ 2. Make dnf keep less kernel versions as fallback
For this method, you can follow this guide Nobara Kernel Fallback
