Hi,

This is supposedly a job for "purge-kernels.service" run at boot.

Due to mistakes it was not default enabled.

Please all run once:

	systemctl enable purge-kernels.service

On next reboot the superflous kernels will be cleaned. (You can trigger 
it manually with
	systemctl start purge-kernels.service

Ciao, Marcus
