.... but i already had reverted to kernel 4.9.... Does this mean i cant install newer versions of the Kernel? (i really don't care if i cant as long Kodi works, just to know if have to avoid upgrading the Kernel)

Of course, not. But your boot partition is quite small, you have a pretty old installation

You can try setting

Code:

MAKEBACKUP=no

in file /etc/default/xbian-initramfs to get some more space in /boot when building initramfs.gz

Thank you Just modified that option (so i can upgrade the Kernel right?)

Yep its the original installation circa late 2013 when i joined the forum.... always updating (or upgrading) via APT-GET to this day (also the same SDcard.... ) (and since the Pi 3 + is now finally reaching a decent price at retailers i might retire this unit this year...).

Should work, data on my P1 /boot occupies 29MB without initramfs.gz.old

Same here, when Kodi Leia will be released (I'm already using it but for HEVC videos only), my Pi1 in living room will be replaced by Pi3B
