Bug description:
  whenever i try to update using a new kernel version by automatically using update manager/or manually the system generates this bug and i was not able to install the new version of kernel.
  The work-around is unmounting the boot partition and remounting it with read-write permission and after installation, the boot partition is again remounted as readonly.
