Public bug reported:
Hello,
i have experienced reproducable crashes of the installer. The problem
seems to be that my boot partition is to small. I have a /boot partition
of about 100 MB
The problem seems to be that the initrd file in the boot partition is
very big and cannot be properly updated.
Is there a restriction to the size of a /boot partition? 100 MB seems to
be way to little, even though the initial installation is possible. But
at the end of the installation process the installer crashes.....

update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.10.0-22-generic
gzip: stdout: No space left on device
E: mkinitramfs failure cpio 141 gzip 1
===== end ====
I used my existing paritions and i would at least expect a warning (hint) that
the /boot partition needs to be of a certain size (or just prevents
installation with a too small boot partition).
I am also having problems updating the kernel, which seems to be the
same cause of the crash of the installer:
here is some information:
