In previous versions old kernal images would not be subject to
automatical removal by default, that was changed recently. It is
possible that these old kernal images were installed before the
change, and as such required to be cleaned up manually. That being
the case the issue should not recur, and please let us know if it does
so that we can track down the cause.
