Public bug reported:
I upgraded to linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic (2.6.27-7.10) a few days ago
and today I noticed that I still had the previous 4-ish kernel packages
installed. After purging them and restarting the machine, it refused to
boot with the following error message:
> [something about CPIO, sorry can't remember precisely]
> Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
I'm not sure what happened to /boot/initrd.img-2.6.27-7-generic file,
but I assume it was there and either zero-length or corrupt. The grub
entry for last-good-boot was not present any more (and the initrd for it
was missing).
So the only way I could fix this was to boot from a rescue cd and re-run
update-initramfs manually.
