Can't boot in kernel 'linux-image-genric 3.0.0.17.20'

I have three Linux kernels installed: 12, 16 and 17. Kernel 12 and 16 are working fine. But when I try to boot into linux-image-generic 3.0.0.17.20, a red screen appears and after that, nothing happens.

I think this is caused by an update. Here's a screenshot of the updates I applied today:

I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 32 bit. I'm dual booting with Windows 7 64 bit.

Okay ! finally I found the problem. The problem does not caused by any updates. The problem was caused by Gparted.

While installing Gparted, never check the ntfsprogs addon. This ugly addon removes a essential program ntfs-3g which gives us the write capability to the windows partitions.

While Installing Gparted I checked "ntfsprogs" and it replaced ntfs-3g. Thats why I could not boot into linux-image-generic 3.0.0.17.30

Now If you have already messed up your system like me, then open synaptic and Install ntfs-3g. It will automatically remove ntfsprogs and you will be able to boot into image 17 again.
