linux-image-3.2.0-0.bpo.2-amd64 fails to boot

[forthurst]

Hi

Having (forced) installed presented updates and restarted, my system 
failed to boot (twice), leaving me with a blinking cursor. (Reversion to 
2.26 was successful).


I do not know if this is a bug or misoperation; the day before when 
presented with some backports I responded 'Yes' instead of 'No' by 
accident when trying to accept them, so its possible I did not have 
essential prerequisites pre-installed when upgrading to 3.2.


Can send

Can send log file or perform reruns

What does 2.26 mean?  Linux 2.6.26?  You should not install
squeeze-backports on lenny; you have to upgrade all packages to at least
squeeze versions first.
