There is still a problem for edgy->feisty upgrading. I have a separate /boot 
partition for which df gives 24% used, ~31MB free:
/dev/hda3                43917      9607     31967  24% /boot

The Distribution Upgrade tool started OK but then terminated with a popup box: 
"The upgrade aborts now. Please free at least 9209k of disk space on /boot. 
Empty your Deleted Items folder and remove temporary packages of former 
installations using 'sudo apt-get clean'."
and then cleaned up after itself.

Doing sudo apt-get clean (shouldn't that be aptitude clean these days?)
and repeating the procedure produced the same result.

My boot partition is admittedly rather small, but my other machine has
about 48MB on /boot and had room for a complete fresh Feisty install
alongside *two* old kernel/initrd versions.
