Bug Description

I tried installing a new kernel for Ubuntu, and on the Ubuntu forums someone recommended me to download kernel 3.0.0 rc6.
When I installed the second part of the kernel according to this article: http://ubuntuguide.net/how-to-install-linux-kernel-3-0-rc2-in-ubuntu-11-04-natty-narwhal the error popped up after the installation and since then it's just there. I'm unable to install the kernel.
