Seems like initramfs ran into a memory limit. I really do not know what
this is about, but poking around the web gives me the idea that an upgrade
was attempted but did not have room. A bug report indicated that
initramfs-tools does not check for memory sufficiency:

I have made a startup usb stick in preparation for what I might have to do
to enlarge or make room in the partition.

According to gnome disks, it looks like partition 1 is 511 Mb, and 92.9%
full. It is Ext2 (how that happened I do not know. It is a 128G SSD.) I
have yet to install gparted.
What do you recommend? (The desktop is still down because of the display).
Thanks,
-Denis
