Believe boot partition became filled

[hjpollock]

I think this problem has something to do with either insufficient space in the /boot partition or some (improper) memory the system is keeping of its prior kernels. But I haven't time right now to try all of the advice below.

I'm interested in getting back into this, so I'd like a way to get back to you. I've copied the URL above (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+filebug/cce3887e-3971-11e7-b34a-002481e7f48a) but am not sure how I can return to this point to gather all of the info you might need.

On a more general note, I'm running 14.04 now. Is it possible to directly *update* to 16.04 without intermediate steps, like 14.04 -> 14.06 -> ...-> 16.04. In my opinion your documentation is not as clear about this matter as it could and should be.

But without becoming too critical,
I'll leave it now.

Can you interpret the comment: This change was made by a bot. I don't know what you mean. Does "This change" refer to the bug report or to something else? I suppose 'bot' refers to some automatic software program, but I don't know.

Some translation into common English would be appreciated, by me, if not by anyone else.

Thanks,
