I also suffered this boot problem.
Thanks to (not so well documented) feature in update-initramfs, postinst
of udev only updates the latest kernel. Thus I was able to boot with
older kernel.
The latest initramfs-tools seems to solved the issue for booting and
starting with latest udev.
If anyone is reruning to create initramfs, please do following:
(I am assuming few kernels to be there.)
1. Boot with older kernel (like 2.6.16 ones)
2. Install latest unstable versions of packages
initramfs-tools 0.75 tools for generating an initramfs
3. run "update-initramfs -u" to get the latest kernel initramfs updated.
4. Reboot to confirm the latest kernel works.
5. If there is other kernel which suffered the same issue, run
"update-initramfs -k all -u" and hope all kernels to work fine.
This manual update is needed since udev.postinst has only
"update-initramfs -u" which only works on the latest kernel version.
