not enough space for upgrading

[Hervé Fache]

Your root is 150 MB??? Never mind, I'll try to help anyway.
Save the debian package for the linux image (you can find it in
/var/cache/apt/archives) somewhere else, then rm *.deb in there to
make sure all packages are removed. That might make enough space. Put
the package back in place, and try again updating.

Otherwise you'll have to move things to a USB key temporarily or mount
an NFS share from somewhere for that (I am assuming you're running
ubuntu-server and are therefore not a complete newbie).
