I don't know what this has to do with the kernel upgrade, but my guess
is that you have two partitions with the label /boot, and your /etc/fstab
refers to the label, rather than the device in /dev, with a line beginning
with "LABEL=/boot". If this guess is correct, you can fix the problem by
using 'tune2fs -L ..." to change the label of one of the filesystems.
Alternatively, change fstab to address the device with /dev/... instead of
by LABEL.
