Today I tried to update my two Linux servers. on one it failed because /boot did not have enough space, which was easy to solve. But now I have different Kernels on this machines because apt update/upgrade does not try to install the newest anymore on the machine where it failed on the first try.
How can I force the update now?

You get only one kernel version on the failing machine which is not normal, APT keeps at least two versions while updating. So let me ask: Has this machine ever updated the Linux kernel? Haven’t you held any packages related to kernel? How exactly did you clean the boot partition? BTW you should prependLANG=Cif you are about to post the command output (e.g.LANG=C sudo apt-get upgrade), so the output gets printed in English. I personally can understand German but others may not.

There were more versions before, but because of no space on /boot i deleted some of them using this hint askubuntu.com/a/90219/592185

Please edit your question the include the complete output ofapt-cache policy linux-image-generic. Let's see if you simply need to reinstall the metapackage (happens if apt is blocked for too long).

Your system is missing the linux-image-generic package and probably also linux-generic which depends on the former. You should reinstall it using the command:
sudo apt install linux-generic
The packages linux-image-generic and linux-image-4.4.0-127-generic (the currently latest version) should be included automatically to be installed by APT.
