Comment 9 for bug 1002388

@Brad

What I did to temporarily resolve the issue was to install linux-image-3.2.0-23-generic.

It caused the exact same error upon install.
I then purged the package linux-image-3.2.0-23-generic. Leaving .24 in place.

I can boot with no problems, and the .24 error has vanished.

I believe the problem is with initrd.img as it is missing so the sym link goes nowhere.
This is possibly a problem because I have /boot on its on partition, but I cannot verify that is the cause of the problem.

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 May 22 11:39 initrd.img -> /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-24-generic

Symlink exists at root. and the only initrd.img I have anywhere on my system is /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-17-generic

I'm not sure if I can just remove the symlink or if the initrd.img file is even necessary (I can boot no problems).
