[Bug 874954] Re: upgrade error

[Dave Gilbert]

Hi Tomas,
  It looks like the problem is space on /boot:

update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.38-11-generic

gzip: stdout: No space left on device
E: mkinitramfs failure cpio 141 gzip 1
update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-2.6.38-11-generic with 1.
dpkg: error processing initramfs-tools (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
No apport report written because MaxReports is reached already
Errors were encountered while processing:
 initramfs-tools


My suggestion is to run computer-janitor to remove some of the old kernels in there and try and complete it.

Dave
