Bug Description
Recently, I used the Ubuntu update utility to update my kernel from 2.6.12-9-amd64-k8 to 2.6.12-10-amd64-k8.
However, the new kernel 2.6.12-10-amd64-k8 does not boot. The kernel itself seems to work, but it then says "shared library not found ... libc.so.6" and many others and then starts the busybox.
Booting 2.6.12-9-amd64-k8, which is still in the grub menu.lst, works correctly.

This would be an initramfs issue. However, you can probably fix it by doing:
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-image- 2.6.12- 10-amd64- k8
See if that resolves it for you.
