[sf-lug] boot is full

Perhaps it would be wise to run fsck before removing lost+found, in case 
anything there is important. In fact, fsck might be a wise idea anyway, 
in case some file corruption is responsible for this situation.

Unless you intentionally chose a particularly small /boot partition, I 
would expect boot to be big enough for multiple kernels. I have 4 in 
mine, meaning 4 copies each of the files you show.

Good luck,
Michael
