Yes, but you have to take care when you update the kernel.
Kernels have to be in the first 8.4 GB of a harddisk. (This is not a Linux
bug, but a BIOS problem. Stuff like EZDrive won't help you either).
So my recommendation would be using (at least) 3 partitions - /boot, /,
swap (where /boot is somewhere at the beginning of the drive, so kernels
will always end up in BIOS readable parts of the disk).
