Thanks for the info, I wasn't aware of that. I tend to play around with a few
kernels, so always manually setup my partitions and make /boot fairly large.
I guess though its not fool proof since not everyone uses the installer (you
can update via yum) and also some might have partitions left over from old
installs where smaller boot partitions were OK.
