I can confirm on an AMD64 system as well. Only 6 or so packages updated in the last couple of hours and left my system in a dead state. (I was testing to see if the latest 2.6.24.12.22 version of linux-image-2.6.24-12-generic had the sound drivers fixed, bug 200338.)
After reboot into 2.6.24-12-generic, it stalls at "Starting system logging daemon...".
Switching to second virtual console, typing in my user name results in "general protection" faults on all the security/pam_* modules. Don't even get to the password prompt. Just thrown back to a login prompt.
