I'm running a dual core amd64 with Debian unstable, kernel

Today, I tried to upgrade to kernel 2.6.18-3-amd64. I get an unexpected
error message concerning a buffer-write failure. I have attached a
script file with the error message. I searched the mailing list, and
didn't
see a related post. I apologize in advance if I missed it. Can anyone
shed some light?
Thanks,

That's your clue: No space left on device. What does df command say?

I had already checked with 'df' before posting, but I attach the
results in case it offers a clue.
Thanks for the reply,
Russ
