Not really clear (to me) what's going on.

I'd start by looking at the error messages references to see if they make sense.

Open a terminal (press Ctrl Alt and T together), then post back with the results these commands give.

Code:

ls -l /usr/share/initramfs-tools

Code:

ls -l /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts

Code:

ls -l /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks

Also, how much free disk space do you have ?

Code:

df -H

Not sure what you are trying to say here.
