Thank you, Christopher Penalver, for your prompt response. I updated  the
BIOS  from 5.16 to 5.22 as  you directed via the Windows Vista partition.
All aforementioned Ubuntu Linux kernels, old, new official 15.04 and
upstream now boot  properly on the  machine [and even  the Debian partition
kernels] :) The BIOS update successfully worked  around the kernel bug.

Title:
  3.19 kernels in 15.04 do not work  on my  32bit system

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Since  upgrading from 14.10  [3.16 kernel]  to 15.04 the 3.19 kernels  including 3.19.0-20 will   either  stall   on  boot    or   leave   me   without   proper   graphics or nil  keyboard  and  mouse even  on recovery boot .  The  next functioning mainline kernel is  v4.0-rc1-vivid. No  problem there.  I  suggest you  abandon  completely  this very problematic end of life   kernel and   quickly test and  backport a newer series.  3.19 up to 3.19.7 has also given me similar   grief on my old  Macbook 2,1 64bit.
