Bug Description
A virtual machine running on a Windows Server 2012R2 Hyper-V system rebooted as part of an automated upgrade last night. It seems to have just installed the new 3.19.0-68-generic kernel. The system failed to boot and instead kernel paniced.
As part of investigating the problem we tried booting the previously installed kernel (66 I think) and could bring up the system OK. It asked to perform a disk check on / and /boot as it came up, which seemed to go fine. Once we were running a `df -h` showed that /boot was 100% full with no space left at all. To improve the system an `apt-get autoremove` was run which uninstalled a bunch of older kernels, freeing just over 100MB of space from /boot. Power cycling the system allowed us to boot successfully under the new 3.19.0-68 kernel.
Hopefully the /var/crash/

Oh, this is not the kernel panic I was thinking that I was reporting. It does show that there was some kind of problem with the upgrade process though. That may relate to the kernel panic which I saw.
