Hi Jen, Not sure if this is the correct list to ask that question. But anyway, you need space for at least three sets of unpacked kernel images including generated initrd. For current x86 kernels, one set is roughly 75 MB. So 250 MB should be safe for /boot size. But you need to ensure only 2 latest kernels left, for instance, by executing 'sudo apt autoremove --purge' after installing the latest kernel and reboot. That way, you will have needed space for next kernel installation if needed. Regards, Andika
