tried to install update "linux-image-2.6.24.23-generic [17.0 mb]

Get message "error occurred

vm linux-2.6.24.23- generic before installing new version.

I don't know what to do. Can someone please help?
Thank you

At a guess I'd say you've done a custom install with too little "/boot" partition space and that's bitten you. What is the output of "df -h"?

"install
 

Thank you for answering.
I don't know what "df -h" mean, but partition is =free space 23gb, size of partition is 35.9gb.

Open a terminal and type the following command. Show me the result.

/home/robertbugeaud/Desktop/df -h

Well, it looks like I was wrong, and I don't see the problem. You should have plenty of disk to install a new kernel. So, could you tell me the command you were using to try to install it? Were you using synaptic or apt or dpkg? And, did you use sudo if you used apt or dpkg? The exact wording of your error message has me stumped as I don't understand why it is looking at "./boot". This looks like a unetbootin install, and I have to admit that I don't know much about unetbootin, so maybe it's a unetbootin peculiarity.
Added:
I've just noticed that there is a space right before the word "generic" in the fileid. Is this a typo you introduced, or is the space in the fileid?

it downloads automatic when I press the star icon on the top line by the date.
sorry but don't know "sudo or dpkg" I'm in my 70s with one eye and one useful arm, and new at linux.
You are right, I omited a - betweenlinux and generic and again between 23 and generic, and after vm it should read [linuz].
Thank you.

Sorry, I just don't see anything obvious. All I can suggest is to try it again.

Thanks a lot
