the strange problem is that my hardrive space is 1tb. the file system is formatted to ext4. i did everything the handbook said and i always get this error after trying to install the kernel (even manually). What does df -h /boot show? Your /boot partition is probably too small. (In reply to Emily Rowlands from comment #2) > What does df -h /boot show? Your /boot partition is probably too small.

You need a larger partition than that. The handbook recommends 256M. You can either reinstall, or shrink your / partition and expand /boot (this depends on your disk layout though).
