[Bug 1674346] Re: Strange boot folder size error during upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04

[Kamlesh B Amin]

Hi Brian,

The command you gave me increased /boot size to few MB (90.5 to be exact).
But the upgrade got stuck again with similar error of higher MB#!
Please refer to attached image.

Would I be better off reformatting my C:\ drive and install new Ubuntu
from USB? My laptop is fairly old with a 40GB size and I don't have much
to lose on C:\ drive....But since I am new to Ubuntu would not want to
give up (like Windows ;-)

Thank you for your time and help.

~Kam

Title:
  Strange boot folder size error during  upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hello!

  When I respond to upgrade message (from existing Ubuntu version 14.04
  to 16.04 OS)I get "/boot" folder size error although I have plenty of
  space on my hard drive.

  Please refer to attached screenshots for further details. I have two
  more screenshots showing my hard drive space (20+ GB) and "/boot"
  folder space (only 49 MB!), but this message screen allows only one
  screenshot.

  Thank you,
