Your memory is faulty.  In the beginning program did not.

A little reminder from Fedora List, 11/17/09, "F12 upgrade needs more
space for /mnt/sysimage/boot" thread, Frank Cox wrote:

"It doesn't for me.  I have exactly this problem trying to run preupgrade on my
Acer Aspire One.  It goes through the whole production, downloads everything
and at the end it tells me that I need 1.5mb more space in /boot.  My only
options at that point are "check again" and "quit".  If I quit, it's game
over.  Running preupgrade after that tells me that everything is ready,
reboot.  If I do so, grub takes me right back into Fedora 11.  The only entry
in grub.conf is the single kernel that I have left on that machine; there's
nothing else that I can see that I could remove from /boot to gain 1.5mb."
