Error during kernel upgrade

Briefly describe your issue below:
I’m currently using the 4.19.0-parrot4-28t-amd64 kernel. During a casual update/upgrade I saw I could upgrade linux-image-5.2.0-2parrot1-amd64, linux-image-amd64, and initramfs-tools but encountered errors. The first time i ran the command it complained about 2 missing drivers for the i915 module, which I installed but didn’t make any difference. Everything is working fine with the old kernel. Never seen an error like that before so I don’t know if additional info is needed.

What version of Parrot are you running?
┌─[root@parrot]─[~]
└──╼ #uname -a
Linux parrot 4.19.0-parrot4-28t-amd64 #1 SMP Parrot 4.19.28-2parrot4.28t (2019-04-18) x86_64 GNU/Linux, security, 4.6, MATE.

What method did you use to install Parrot? (Debian Standard / Debian GTK / parrot-experimental)
Installed using ISO image throught bootable usb with the standard debian installer on Acer Aspire 3 A315-51-3987.

Configured to multiboot with other systems? (yes / no)
No

yout boot is full! :wink:
please do:

sudo apt autoremove && sudo apt autoclean -y

@rowie Thank you for the reply. Didn’t think to check there :sweat_smile:. That was the problem. Ran the command you suggested but it didn’t free up space in /boot. So I unistalled the oldest kernel that did the trick.
