Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and helping to make
Ubuntu better. Examining the information you have given us, this does
not appear to be a bug report so we are closing it and converting it to
a question in the support tracker. We appreciate the difficulties you
are facing, but it would make more sense to raise problems you are
having in the support tracker at https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu if
you are uncertain if they are bugs. For help on reporting bugs, see

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: initramfs-tools

- Bug #515025 is close, but not exactly right.  See info in summary.  Can
- I enlarge /boot into adjacent /usr without having to re-install?  On
- installation, I got:
+ 
+ I think problem is I used the same partitions I originally made for an old Red Hat installation, which worked just fine for Ubuntu 9.10. /boot is ~107MB, and appears to be too small. I was able to boot my new 10.04 install, but when I ran Update Manager, it reported ~19MB too little space in /boot, and suggested I empty Trash and run "sudo apt-get clean", which I did to no avail. The very next partition on the disk is 32GB, which I have mounted at /usr (ext4). Is there a way I can enlarge the /boot partition into the beginning of the /usr partition without having to re-install?

+ Bug #515025 is close, but not exactly right.  See info in summary.  Can I enlarge /boot into adjacent /usr without having to re-install?  On installation, I got:

  Error while removing packages:  E:  Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned
  an error code (1)

  No packages were listed as broken.  Error advised to "Look for details
  in /var/log/syslog."  Install may fail.  Look for newer versions of
  installer image or report problem.

  On 1st attempted boot, I got a long list of similar errors, ending with:

  [3027.152175] end-request:  IO error, dev sr2, sector 510608.

  I removed 10.04 install CD and booted normally, so GRUB must be OK in
  MBR.
