[Jean-Baptiste Lallement]

Thanks for your report.

according to your logs there are a lot of corrupted kernel modules
Running depmod.
WARNING: Can't read module /lib/modules/2.6.32-24-generic/kernel/drivers/mfd/pcf50633-core.ko: Exec format error
[...]
WARNING: Couldn't find symtab and strtab in module /lib/modules/2.6.32-24-generic/kernel/drivers/mtd/maps/gpio-addr-flash.ko
Failed to run depmod

there is also a depmod segmentation fault in dmesg.
and finally hardware error with your harddrive

you should run a memory check, a filesystem check and reinstall your running kernel with the command:
$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-2.6.32-24-generic

I'm converting this report to a question because it is not a bug. Thanks
and don't hesitate to submit any new bug.
