I am not sure when this problem occurred but reading over it it sounds like it pertains to a lack of space. I know that my /boot partition has run out of space several times recently. I do not know why, as I thought left the partitioning plan up to Ubuntu when I installed.

I have found that the
purge-old-kernels
script is very helpful in getting me down to just the kernel images that I am using. It might be worth performing that action too if you are low on space. I think the script will come from the main repos, so if you do not have it I expect an appropriate 'apg-get install 'prompt will be provided.
