Bug Description

When selecting the kernel 2.6.24-20 in grub, the loading process stops at "Starting up", i.e. the very beginning. The problem does not occurs with older kernels, including 2.6.24-19.

The commands shown when I press 'e' in grub are

root (hd1,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-20-generic root=UUID=the_id_of_the_disc ro quiet splash
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-20-generic
quiet

The same commands are shown for kernel 2.6.24-19, with '19' instead of '20'

The folder /boot is on the first partition of the second hard drive, so it seems that the commands are ok.
