[vox-tech] Ubuntu not booting after Kernel update

[Darth Borehd]

Why LILO?  I can't think of a single thing LILO can do that Grub can not do
better.

If you have an older kernel available in the menu, boot to that.  Then check
for updates again.  Sometimes the headers don't download completely on older
releases.  If so, then install those and try to reboot with the new kernel.
