Grave for your system, but not at all ;)

Could you please send error messages? Please post the output of:
$ df

[end quote]

What had happened was that update-modules was being called by the 
upgrade, and that update-modules.modutils was being called by 
update-modules.

update-modules.modutils was an identical shell script to update-modules, 
so that there was a recursive shell script call.

I was unable to determine which package had installed 
update-modules.modutils, so I deleted update-modules.modutils and was 
able to perform the upgrade without problems.

Regards,

Arthur.
