Most likely is that you have a separate boot partition because you are using 
lvm or an encrypted filesystem. Most kernel updates add a new kernel but do not 
erase old versions. This way boot partition gets full. The solution is simply 
to uninstall unused kernel images...
if possible install aptitude, run "sudo aptitude search ~ilinux-image". This 
will show you the installed kernels
Just remove the older versions, keep two of the newest.
Run "sudo apt-get autoremove linux-image-3.8.0-23-generic" for each of the 
older kernels. Put your version here.
This should free space on boot partition...
