You've run out of disk space for the /boot filesystem. Look at the output of "df -h". Check for old kernel packages that might be filling up /boot, and uninstall packages corresponding to older kernels that you are no longer using. I've no idea about the message mentioning sda8_crypt. Do you always get this message, or is it new? -- regards, kushal -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
