Crashed on running partial upgrade from the GUI.

Then it told me boot partition was running outof space.

How is that possible? This was a fresh install when beta 1 was released. Do I need to clear out old kernels somehow?

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It seems that there was an error on your system when trying to update the kernel on your system due to a lack of free space in your boot partition. Please resolve this situation manually and try the update again.
