Is there any chance the /boot partition is full?

Don't forget that the code on /boot can double in size during the upgrade:
the original noobs-size /boot on my old 512Mb Pi 2B got full as a result
of a recent update: the kernel was 56MB in a 100MB partition and warnings
that /boot was 99% full were issued.

After that I moved its file system from an 8GB to a 16GB SD card,
increasing the /boot partition to 1GB from the original 100MB and Bob is
now my uncle: it sailed through yesterday's Kernel update without any
problems at all.
