If you are lucky you will have *.old initrds so just edit your grub prompt
to use initrd.img.old rather than initrd.img (via text mode in grub)
Where are such initrd.img.old files found?
We all assume that, with a boot cd, live dvd, you can mount your root
partition /somewhere
ls -trl /somewhere/boot/
and try to find a initrd-x.x.x which has been generated before the bug.
In my case, I got:
initrd-3.6.5-tmb-desktop-3.mga3.img
and I have also the kernel
vmlinuz-3.6.5-tmb-desktop-3.mga3
(thanks to master tmb)
Now add a new entry in /boot/grub/menu.lst referring to compatible
versions of initrd (not corrupted) and vmlinuz (be inspired by the ones
already written in this file)
Reboot et select these ones.
