Kernel 3.2.0-35-generic-pae does not boot

Asked by Gert de Boer

Yesterday I downloaded the new program versions with the Update Manager. Now my Samsung RF711 Notebook does not boot anymore. Using the previous kernel still works.

In the syslog, from here everything seems to go wrong:

I made my boot partition rather small, which means I have to delete older kernels manually. Now I am afraid of installing newest kernel version, as I have no idea the bug is solved or not. I assume it isn't, as there are no further comments on the related bug, except of somebody else who has the same problem. Please advice.

Can you help with this problem?
