Linux upgrade: insufficient space on /boot

I went to upgrade to Ubuntu 8.10 only to find out I had insufficient space on my /boot partition (92MB). I guess the Linux kernel has grown.

Unfortunately, my partition table looks like this, with /boot on an ext3fs filesystem, and the rest on xfs ...

jknight@shadowbox:~$ mount | grep sda | sort
/dev/sda2 on /boot type ext3 (rw)
/dev/sda3 on / type xfs (rw)
/dev/sda4 on /home type xfs (rw)

... and xfs is not shrinkable (as clearly stated under "disadvantages") !
I even tried moving everything off /boot, but even then I didn't have enough space.

I managed to get around this by booting off a linux rescue disk and using gparted to cannibalize space from my swap partition, which is ext3fs and can therefore be shrunk (shrank? shrunken?).

Now, it's just a matter of time:
