Linux Update kernel error, Update-initramfs:failedb workaround

Environment:

Win7,ubuntu dual System.

The problem arises with the background and solution:

The first two days found that the/home directory is full, and then in Ubuntu under the GParted tool to the system re-partition, after partition results/boot and Win7 C disk mounted to the same partition/sda1, so start the times wrong. As a result, the system was re-partitioned and 2G was used as/boot.

However, when running Apt-get, the error is as follows:

Did not find the file/boot/config-*, the solution is to copy the original/boot file and copy it over.

Then, when running Apt-get install-f, a new error was reported:

Setting Initramfs-tools (0.103ubuntu1.1) ...
Update-initramfs:deferring update (trigger activated)
Processing triggers for initramfs-tools ...
Update-initramfs:generating/boot/initrd.img-3.11.0-12-generic
E:/usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/watershed failed with return 1.
Update-initramfs:failed for/boot/initrd.img-3.11.0-12-generic with 1.
Dpkg:error processing Initramfs-tools (--configure):
Child process installed Post-Installation script returned error number 1
An error occurred while processing:
Initramfs-tools
E:sub-process/usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

On-line search for half a day, the following two solutions:

1,/boot is full, the old kernel needs to be deleted.

Run uname-a to view the currently running kernel version.

Run dpkg--get-selections|grep Linux to view all installed cores and uninstall the install

sudo apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.24-16-generic

2, run df-h found the boot that was hung is not full. Read the above error carefully, found that the main problem is watershed, may be lost or no way to read. Perform:

sudo chmod-x/usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/watershed

Then everything OK.
