Title:
update-initramfs should produce a more helpful error message when
there isn't enough free space
Status in initramfs-tools:
Confirmed
Status in Ubuntu Software Center:
Invalid
Status in dpkg package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
When installing a kernel, /boot may become full during execution of
post-installation script typically when update-initramfs is creating
or updating an initrd.img file. This is resulting in kernel
installation error. For example:
Setting up initramfs-tools (0.98.8ubuntu3) ...
update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated)
Processing triggers for initramfs-tools ...
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.38-8-generic
gzip: stdout: No space left on device
E: mkinitramfs failure cpio 141 gzip 1
update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-2.6.38-8-generic
dpkg: error processing initramfs-tools (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status
1
Ideal behavior:
Give a more helpful error message when this unfortunate situation
occurs so that user can fix the broken system and keep it going.
Many thanks!
