On my Acer Aspire 5920 I installed and successfully booted : linux-image-3.19.8-031908-generic_3.19.8-031908.201505110938_amd64. So this boot bug may be fixed. I may have scrambled my grub as I needed to run grub-mkconfig to get the grub start menu updated to include the new kernel. Part of my bios update journey requested above but not yet complete. Required an old 2008 vintage windows HDD to be resurrected.
