On three machines I just upgraded to F14 from F13 they have 300MB /boot.
I took all three down to just the running kernel prior to using
preupgrade. Just before the reboot to the actual upgrade it reports I
have 60MB left on /boot and need 26MB for the kernel. I think next time
around I will need to do fresh installs so I can resize my /boot.
