don't know whether this helps anyone

Wanted to share following observations, have been able to make three stable (problem free )installs of Kernel 3.5.0.27-generic on different partitions#46 currently offered by USC after fresh install :
i) make install of Ubuntu (stick or DVD) without the 3rd party package;
ii) on first boot after install make all the available updates via Softwre Updater without the Kernel 3.5.0.27 updates (unclick them)
iii) reboot and then update to Kernel 3.5.0.27 via Softwre Updater
iv) reboot and install "Ubuntu Restricted Extras" via Ubuntu software Center in order to get 3rd party stuff for flash and other proprietary additions.

Other trials of installs 12.10 with 3rd party package included during install all led to unbootable versions after the update to Kernel 3.5.0.27 whatever the sequence of updates.

current stable config :
