   update-initramfs should produce a more helpful error message when there isn't enough  free space--or provide an automatic tool for removal of old files

Bug description:
  I am using Ubuntu 11.04 from a live USB (my hard disk has crashed, so
  it's a system without a hard disk). I have disabled Unity and using
  classic mode. Many times after booting, my mouse pointer is frozen.
  Then I launch something with keyboard (e.g. press Alt+F2) and the
  pointer starts moving. Then I get this error message that initramfs
  had some problem.
