Yes.  Wou were lucky.  Sometimes when /boot is full it silently
corrupts the initramfs without any error message.  You probably
need to make room in /boot, perhaps by deleting an old unused
kernel.


And that was my 2nd guess, but I have never had a full /boot so I can only read the place where it errored, which was with the modules unpacking.

you can do a df -h /boot to test. most people put /boot on / if they are not running raid or LVM or have some other reason to hang it alone. If /boot is not on it's own partition, look at a full /
