df /boot (i'm trying to figure out the syntax for the exact test, I'll paste it here if i figure it out) there should be a check for probably be about 5 megs free? and at least a warning, possibly a fatal error.. and if the copying to the boot partition isn't successfull there should be a notice.. (i think there already is) but it looks like the copy to /boot is integrated into the functions... the copy to /boot should occur at the end if successfull.. i'm looking into it. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
There's no way to check until both the kernel and initrd are compiled. And if there isn't enough space, genkernel should fail to copy and say so clearly - if this isn't the case, then please reopen this bug. Not much else that can be done here...
