Comment 4 for bug 941867

This same issue occurred on my upgrade to 12.04 beta 2.

Let the system unbootable with the new kernel because initrd wasn't there.

Booting an old kernel (11.10) left me with no (wireless) networking, and although X started, the mouse didn't work.

Fortunately I was able to unpack the initscripts package, add a '&' to the end of the 'mv' lines, rebuild and install that, then re-run apt-get upgrade.

The above is far beyond most users ability, who would be looking at a trashed laptop - I suggest we raise the fix priority !
