[Bug 1191316] Re: after the last linux-generic upgrade the computer gives a fault

[Daniel Karlsson]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. To make certain that this is a bug I would like to to
check a couple of things. In a terminal enter "df -h" and paste the
output here. Sometimes /boot is a separate partition that can run out
space if there are many old kernels installed and that could cause this
error.

If there is no space left on /boot you have to remove some old kernels
to make space. I will also mark this bug as a duplicate of #798414 which
deals with this error.

You can manually remove old kernels by following these instructions:
