Public bug reported: My system has /boot and grub installed on a USB flash drive. When I try to upgrade the kernel, it fails; The boot partition is remounted as read-only, and the device is reset, now using the ohci driver. If I remount as read-write and attempt the upgrade again, the same thing happens, except that the device disappears entirely. The only way I have found to have the system recognize it again is to reboot.
I am able to reproduce this by copying a 10MB file to /boot, although sometimes this needs multiple tries to trigger the issue. Also, I do not believe that the drive itself is a problem. I was able to reproduce the issue on a copy of the drive. I can also copy large files to the drive using a different Ubuntu computer. Please let me know if there's any other information I can provide.
