I noticed that my /run mounted as tmpfs and is 371M and just used 1.5M. There is still plenty of room.
My system is installed in the second disk (/dev/sdb1) and boot loader in /dev/sda is the grub. After the installation failed, I can find the vmlinuz and initrd.img are already installed in the /boot. One thing odd is that the driver /lib/modules/<my current version> took 192M, while the newly installed /lib/modules/3.16.0-73-generic used 33M and the same size by /lib/modules/3.16.0-76-generic. This drive is a flash drive, and I didn't find any error logged with the 'dmesg' command. The same error still happened without any clue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1582979 Title: package linux-image-3.16.0-71-generic 3.16.0-71.92~14.04.1 failed to install/upgrade: run-parts: /etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs-tools exited with return code 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/1582979/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
