Just a preview... :) I started testing and it looks like the problem might potentially be in the headers package. Here's what I did. 1. disinstalled (sudo apt-get purge) kernel version v6. ONLY linux-image-3.2.0-25-generic! 2. installed v1. Manual boot: boots fine. Automatic (i.e.: using grub menu) boot: works fine!!!
So, I was suspecting I was using headers of v6. I disinstalled kernel v1 and all the header packages of versions 3.2.0-25-lp1013647. Reinstalled v1. Does not boot! The manual boot process gives a "Errore: file non letto" (error, file not read) on command: linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-25-generic ...
