2010-06-22 21:30:25 Jean-Baptiste Lallement description Binary package hint: initramfs-tools Bug #515025 is close, but not exactly right. See info in summary. Can I enlarge /boot into adjacent /usr without having to re-install? On installation, I got: Error while removing packages: E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) No packages were listed as broken. Error advised to "Look for details in /var/log/syslog." Install may fail. Look for newer versions of installer image or report problem. On 1st attempted boot, I got a long list of similar errors, ending with: [3027.152175] end-request: IO error, dev sr2, sector 510608. I removed 10.04 install CD and booted normally, so GRUB must be OK in MBR.

I was able to boot my new 10.04 install, but when I ran Update Manager, it reported ~19MB too little space in /boot, and suggested I empty Trash and run "sudo apt-get clean", which I did to no avail. The very next partition on the disk is 32GB, which I have mounted at /usr (ext4). Is there a way I can enlarge the /boot partition into the beginning of the /usr partition without having to re-install? Bug #515025 is close, but not exactly right. See info in summary.
