Not sure what the proplem is here...I issue a yum update and it fails
saying that the packages require X amount of diskspace, but I _have_
enough space.

Actually looks like 107Mb is the accumulated total. Since a kernel is
being installed is it possible that there is a separate /boot partition
that actually is full?

he could try
# yum --enablerepo=development update kernel
if this does not work
# rpm -qa kernel
and remove an older kernel
# rpm -e kernel-x.x.x-xx

Actually looks like 107Mb is the accumulated total.
Yeah, that's accumulated like you said. Note that the amount is
monotonically increasing.
Since a kernel is
being installed is it possible that there is a separate /boot
partition
that actually is full?
Very good point! The kernel appears to need 69MB (71 - 2) and only 66MB
are available on that drive.
Thanks for the help, mystery solved.
In the meantime I attempted to update some packages (but not everything)
and now my yum is broken:
[root@celes ~]# yum install lyx

I suppose python must be the culprit...?

This looks like errors I was getting until someone suggested I install
a selinux related package... see thread generated by my post on this

I'm not so sure this is explains the problem. The large majority of
the kernel package space is taken up in the /lib/modules/`uname -r`
directory, not in /boot.

I always read it as saying you need 107MB _more_ space, not that you need
107MB total.
You might try updating in smaller groups, that way you can clean out
downloaded RPMs between runs.
