[xubuntu-users] Boot Warning

[JMZ]

This is quite a facile answer, but maybe your kernel is corrupted in 
some way.

Go to this website 
https://launchpad.net/~canonical-kernel-team/+archive/ubuntu/ppa

follow the instructions to create a ppa.  Then, issue the following command

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y install linux-generic 
linux-image-generic linux-headers-generic

This should update your kernel to the latest development version.

Okay, I know that some readers aren't going to like my suggestion that a 
user enter the development stream.  Quite honestly, I have never had a 
problem with the kernels released through ppa:canonica-kernel-team.  
Almost every time everything fits together well.
