Bug Description
I attemted to update a computer of mine from dapper to edgy via the update-notifier. It let it run a few hours. When I came back the machine was on - but not reacting to any input. So I hard resetted it and when I now try to boot edgy I get a Kernel panic: Not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0).

Problem was that no config was made and the new kernel was not setup in ramfs. So I booted up an old kernel - did a config of the packages and voila - the new kernel boots.
The big issue is that the computer didn't react anymore - probably due to some kind of xserver problem (I assume) and a normal user will have pretty much problems sorting that out...
