Bug Description
linux-image-* will happily install even it /boot fills up in the process, rendering that kernel unbootable.
# df -h | grep boot
/dev/sda1 89M 89M 0 100% /boot
# ls /boot/initrd* | tail -n3
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6718941 2006-03-23 20:30 initrd.
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6717570 2006-04-03 15:43 initrd.
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3588096 2006-04-06 00:24 initrd.
It looks like the last initrd is incomplete, doesn't it?

I've had the same problem about two moths ago when I was still using breazy. Unfortunatly I don't know exactly the date/kernel version it occurred. But when installing the kernel /boot also ran out of space while installing the initial ramdisk and gave no warning at all that it had failed...
