got a solution if anyone out there is still interested.

the error message is correct:

"update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-16-generic

gzip: stdout: No space left on device"

it is trying to unpack onto /boot, which, if like mine or the chap
above's, is very small and has little space left (eg grub partition),
will not have enough room.

copy out the older files to a backup somewhere (in this case those from
the previous version of ubuntu, ie those with the lower version number
than the 2.6.24-16 we are trying to unpack). delete these files and
empty deleted items to gain back some space. now try again:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

good luck all :)

hey my first post.
