My guess is your old home partition is preserving kernel info for kernels that do not actually exist. Update grub will just keep adding them in. You'll need to use root to fix this which is risky, so this could be bad advice. Open a terminal and type sudo passwd root. Enter a new nix password twice and exit the terminal. Logout and reboot. Select other from lightdm login and type root, and enter the root password you set up. You will boot into root. You'll get an ioctl error which you can just ignore, x out the message, and root will load the xfce desktop. Clean out the kernel info from home there. To get rid of the root login afterwards open a terminal and type sudo passwd -dl root. Warning -- could be ugly. Don't go this route if you're not sure of what you're doing.
