I've already freed up space in /boot , considering that was the problem, but I don't know what to do next. Can someone help please?

Looks like lack of disk space in /boot partition where kernel installed. How do you perform Plesk upgrade if even kernel should be updated? With apt-get? Plesk should be updated only with own Plesk installer.

I havent used apt-get (AFAIR) to upgrade / update plesk. This was just an automatic plesk update, when this error happened. I already freed up space in /boot by deleting old kernels, but since the update didn't finish, I was wondering if there was something broken that should be repaired. I also ran plesk repair install -y , and it says that everything is ok with plesk install.

p.s. I ran do-dist-upgrade, about a month ago, but up to this moment everything worked fine so I'm not sure if that's related. (I'm a linux / plesk newbie btw)
