kernel 2.6.24-20-generic fails to boot

[Andre Somers]

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.24-20-generic

After having adept update my system by installing the mentioned kernel version, my system fails to boot beyond the "Starting system" message that you get right after grub. Nothing else happens. I would have expected a working system after an upgrade ;-)
Booting 2.6.24-19-generic instead works.

System:
AMD Athlon XP @ 1249 Mhz,
1GB of memory,
System disc on Ext3, data disc on ReiserFS.
Video card: Matrox G400 16MB dual head

Exact same problem here. 2.6.24-19-generic work as well.

System:
Kubuntu 8.04 (KDE3)
AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2400+
512 MB RAM
disc on Ext3
Video card: Nvida GeForce FX
