On a clean isntall, if you had a seperate /boot, and chose not to format /boot (which is the default), the sylink to vmlinuz is left as it was before, so you end up booting the previous kernel with no modules availble. The initd.img link is set correctly.
Unfortunately, this isn't the kind of bug you see in testing on a spare partition :-( (no seperate /boot).
