HELP - Upgrading the Kernel FAILED!

[Maverick88]

I have been running Hardy Herom for awhile. I just checked for updates and applied them using Synaptic Package Manager. But the update for the Kernel and Kernel Modules failed. Synaptic gave me the following error message.

E: linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2
E: linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-19-generic: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

I tried to reinstall these two packages. No luck. I get the same error message.

Any ideas on what I need to do to solve thie error?

I found the problem. After runnning "sudo apt-get upgrade" in the Terminal, I saw an error message stating that there was not enough space. Sure enough my /boot partition was full.

After deleting some old kernels and their related files from the /boot partition, I was able to successfully install the latest kernel and kernel modules by running "sudo apt-get upgrade" in the Terminal.
