Public bug reported:

Affects: linux-source-2.6.15 (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Major
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
linux-image-* will happily install even it /boot fills up in the
process, rendering that kernel unbootable.

# df -h | grep boot
/dev/sda1              89M   89M     0 100% /boot

# ls /boot/initrd* | tail -n3
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6718941 2006-03-23 20:30 initrd.img-2.6.15-18-686
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6717570 2006-04-03 15:43 initrd.img-2.6.15-19-686
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3588096 2006-04-06 00:24 initrd.img-2.6.15-20-686

It looks like the last initrd is incomplete, doesn't it?

** Summary changed:

- linux-image-* will happily install even it /boot fills up in the process
+ linux-image-* will happily install even if /boot fills up in the process

** Changed in: linux-source-2.6.15 (Ubuntu)
     Severity: Normal => Major
