[1]
Boot up using recovery,
[a] repair
[b] network at root
     update/upgrade


[2]
Can you boot up using nomodeset in the linux line of the grub entry?
Change
linux    /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.xx-xx-generic root=UUID=xxxx ro   splash quiet
to
linux    /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.xx-xx-generic root=UUID=xxxx ro   nomodeset

[3]
Can you boot up using the older kernel?


If [2], then its a video driver issue and correct this when booted. 
Preferably with update/upgrade before doing this.

If [3], then update/upgrade and then try to boot with new kernel if any 
upgrades done (otherwise use old kernel till there is further upgrades).
