For future reference I believe it is generally considered better not
to have a separate partition for /boot as it can give rise to this
problem. Just put /boot in the main root (/) partition so that it
will not fill up. If it /boot actually fills up completely it can be
a big pain to recover as you can't then run autoremove, you have to
manually remove the old kernels.
