This happens when update-initramfs tries to compress the initramfs.
I.e. the device where no space is left is /boot.

That may be a bit small these days with the default update-initramfs
configuration. If you cannot increase the /boot partition, you need to
free some space another way, e.g.
- remove some old kernels, or just their initramfs
- use MODULES=dep in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf to reduce the
size of the initramfs
- use backup_initramfs=no in /etc/initramfs-tools/update-initramfs.conf
to disable the creation of initrd.img*.bak files in /boot.
