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+ I think problem is I used the same partitions I originally made for an old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.
