Flo, If you were just out of disk space on /boot like I was -- and it looks like you were, then the simplest way to recover is just to uninstall some old kernels as you likely have a few installed, eg do:
$ dpkg -l|grep "ii[[:space:]]*linux-image" and remove the oldest version, making sure that this isn't the running kernel, eg: $ apt-get remove linux-image-3.5.0-23-generic linux-image-3.5.0-25-generic Once you've done this, apt will re-run the packing for half-installed linux-image package from the new ubuntu version, although perhaps your system developed other problems from the installer aborting at a different point and leaving your system in an inconsistent state. A lot of advice out there says to have a ~ 100MB boot partition which doesn't allow many kernel images to be installed these days and there are a few systems out there that refuse to boot if the root partition is massive so this may catch a few people... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1173468 Title: kernel-image package doesn't check free space on /boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1173468/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
