Chris

As you can see from the output, you have no space left on the /boot
partition.

The operation you're trying to accomplish will not succeed until it has some
space to write to.

Check what you have on /boot, clean some space (you can ask for advice
regarding that on answers.launchpad.net) and try performing the installation
again.

Alex.
