   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

  uname -r

  The above after rebooting to *-116.
  System seems to be working; I will try to repair the failed installation soon.

  There has been a constant issue where the installer tries to recover
  long-uninstalled initram elements such as initrd.img-4.2.0-16-generic
  (and later) filling /boot, etc. I have manually removed these files
  from /boot to an "obsolete" folder to allow df -h to report enough
  space.

  The system seems to be reading outdated info from an 'initram.conf' or
  similar file and I believe this may be the fault, or part of it. I can
  manually edit out references to earlier kernels when I find the file.

  Do you have any suggestions?
