Maybe you should reorganize your Hardrive?

You can check with aptitude or just look in /lib. You should have room for at least 3 kernels, 2 at a minimum. You need to have room to update a kernel to a new version while keeping the old version in case of problems. Updating to the same version shouldn't use up any space in either /lib or /boot. I suggest that you have the linux-image-2.6-[arch] meta-package installed, which will depend on the specific most current kernel. Note that this doesn't automatically remove old kernels as new ones are installed. You have to use aptitude and search for all the kernels and delete those you don't need.
