Comment 8 for bug 321260

actually Dimitrios, that was what I had to do, I booted into another kernel,
then ran
apt-get update and apt-get upgrade, and somehow it re-wrote the initrd for
this kernel version and magically booted. Not sure how or why, but I've got
my Ibex back. Thanks for your input.
