I updated my 12.10 installation on a T430 thinkpad to kernel 3.5.0-28. After restarting, it would boot into grub but then hang on a blank purple screen when trying to boot with kernel 3.5.0-28. Booting with kernel 3.5.0-27 worked fine.

_{(Used the OP's solution that they posted in their question and made it an answer)}

When I booted into kernel 3.5.0-27, I looked at apt-get and saw that the package linux-signed-image-generic had been held back. After upgrading linux-signed-image-generic by running apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade and restarting, booting into kernel 3.5.0-28 works.
