Thank you chisao, you saved my night!

Here is what I did:

1. Ensure you are connected to your router by DHCP.
2. Start your machine and select the "recovery kernel linux 2.6.31-10" with the "down" button. Press "e" on your keyboard.
3. Select the "kernel uuid=..." entry with the "down" button and type "e" again.
4. Change "ro single" to "rw init=/bin/bash". Press "Enter" and "b" on the keyboard.
5. Wait until booting stops and press "Enter".
6. "root@(none):" is displayed. Type in the konsole:
dhclient eth0
7. After this operation the connection to the internet is activated and you can type in the konsole:
apt-get dist-upgrade
8. Wait 10 min until upgrade is done.
9. Reboot your machine and select "kernel linux 2.6.31-9" in grub.

Ubuntu works.

I tried to start "kernel linux 2.6.31-10" after the upgrade but this didn´t work. Probably the next dist-upgrade does it.
