1) check if /boot partition is full
2) reinstall xbian-package-firmware (sudo apt-get install --reinstall xbian-package-firmware)

Yes actually is full :/
Code:

tmpfs 11732 0 11732 0% /run/user/0Reinstalling xbian-package-firmware will resolve this? Don't i need to delete something 1st?
Also can i delete the /boot.new directory?

Sure, first remove files like *.old, and you can remove /boot.new

Well that did it
. Clean boot and Kodi is back (also the /boot.new folder disappeared)... .... but i already had reverted to kernel 4.9.... Does this mean i cant install newer versions of the Kernel? (i really don't care if i cant as long Kodi works, just to know if have to avoid upgrading the Kernel)
My SDcard is now like this and boot partition no longer full:
Code:
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
udev 256 4 252 2% /dev
tmpfs 36168 1236 34932 4% /run

tmpfs 36164 0 36164 0% /run/user/0Also in case this is interesting here is the new dmesg file
Thank you for all the help

Of course, not. But your boot partition is quite small, you have a pretty old installation
You can try setting
Code:
MAKEBACKUP=noin file /etc/default/xbian-initramfs to get some more space in /boot when building initramfs.gz

Just modified that option (so i can upgrade the Kernel right?)Yep its the original installation circa late 2013 when i joined the forum.... always updating (or upgrading) via APT-GET to this day
(also the same SDcard.... ) (and since the Pi 3 + is now finally reaching a decent price at retailers i might retire this unit this year...).

Should work, data on my P1 /boot occupies 29MB without initramfs.gz.old
Same here, when Kodi Leia will be released (I'm already using it but for HEVC videos only), my Pi1 in living room will be replaced by Pi3B
