Can't boot after an update

[German]

Thanks for being with me, Israel. OK, that's what I did... I went to recovery mode - resume-resume normal boot so I can see now the boot sequence. It hangs on 'virtual Ethernet', I have VMware installed. I have athlon 5350 apu, 64-bit, so radeon 3R video chip in it. I am using proprietary catalyst drivers. Latest lubuntu lts 14.04.01. So I guess that is VMware issue and probably it conflicts with catalyst drivers. What would you do next? Thanks a bunch
