I am trying to install Liquorix kernel and got the following error:

My EFI partition was originally 100M and i tried to expand it to 512M using Gparted. It threw some error but even after reboot i could see the partition as 512M on both Gparted and cfdisk. Thing is if i use pcmanfm(file manager) and i see the property it says it is 100M.
What could i do to actually change the size? or is this even what is causing the error?

What does this print?

The error makes perfect sense: there is no space left on /boot to write the new image.
You can look in /boot and see if there is anything there you don't need. Or you can properly resize your partitions, after backing up your data.

Yeah, i figured, but why do cfdisk, Gparted, Windows, etc. say efi partition in 512M? And also how do i resize correctly?

That is a separate question to this topic.

Is it? The end of the original post asks questions that hasn't been resolved

Read your thread title, and then compare with the questions you asked in #5 - they are completely unrelated.

No they are not, "related to disk space" is what matters, "new kernel installation" is just context. That question is strictly related to disk space. I can change the title if you have a good tilte suggestion(if it is possible)

Edit:

While the chosen subject is far more generic (with spelling errors ;-) the ulitmate inquiry is how to *effectively* change the size.
Maybe the subject should reflect rather that than referecing the (irrelvant) "kernell [sic!] installation", so for posterioritys benefit you could change that.

fdisk -l /dev/sda
You do understand that "partition" and "filesystem" are separate things and you can perfectly have a 100MB FS on a 512MB partition?

Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.
