Every time the system updates the kernel from 3.5.0-24 to 3.5.0-34 I get dropped into a busybox prompt at boot, but I can boot just fine using the previous kernel. I've tried all I know. I did a fsck.ext3 -f /dev/sdb2
using the alternate install CD. I've used boot-repair but to avail, I've checked for bad blocks but there are none. Should I purge the new kernel and use the old one instead? This is the output from boot-repair the first time, no purge. http://paste.ubuntu.com/5809230/
Fixed it, using boot-repair, I added the kernel option rootdelay=90
. Now the linux-kernel-3.5.0-34-generic-image. But after much research and testing, I have decided to go with the linux-generic image boots properly. which is kernel version 3.2.0-48. It's the only one that boots up correctly without having to add any kernel options. Also using this kernel solved another issue I had, which was a waking up took too long. Now waking up after suspend takes just 2 seconds as opposed to 10-20 seconds using the other images.

1Good job. I strongly recommend you report the bug (and the workaround you found) to the kernel developers. See wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Bugs – LovinBuntu Jun 30 '13 at 0:54
