yum install error

[Forerunner]

when I try to install or update some programs with yum I get this error

and I also get the same errors with other packages.  Anyone have a clue on
what's going on?

First guess is that /boot partition is full ? Check with
df -h /boot

If it really is full, try removing older kernel packages you don't need.
Perhaps kernel-xen or so ? You can get a listing with
rpm -qa "kernel*"

Then remove a kernel that you are *not* using! If you are unsure what all of
this means, perhaps it's best to learn before you act

Are you running the yum command as root?
