for StewartM's step-by-step solution if you have previous kernel images that you can reboot from.
If you do not have a previously working kernel, you might have to do what Andrux101 has suggested at
http://ohioloco.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8079302&postcount=12
and what Aymeric Mansoux has also suggested above. Be sure to prepend sudo to the relevant commands.
In any case, here is what I did:
1. Boot from Live CD. Go into console mode [Ctrl-Alt-F1] or fire up a terminal.
2. sudo mkdir /media/newroot
3. sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/newroot
(My root partition is at /dev/sda1; change /dev/sda1 to suit your case.)
4. sudo chroot /media/newroot
5. sudo update-initramfs -u -k all
(the "all" argument is a bit of bravado since I did not know what exactly it would do. If in doubt, try "2.6.32-24-generic" instead of "all".)
6. Reboot without Live CD.
It is a great shame that this bug has resurfaced after a kernel image update.
FWIW, my most recent kernels are:
2.6.32-24-generic
and
2.6.32-24-preempt
in case it is one and not the other theta has triggered this problem.
I appeal for an early closure of this problem. Thanks.
