Comment:
I got the same issue when I tried to dist-upgrade from Breezy to Dapper.

I was able to boot by copying initrd.img-2.6.15-17-k7 from one of my
working Dapper computer to the machine I was trying to upgrade.

To fix the problem permanently, I did: 
mkiniramfs -o initrd.img-2.6.15-17-k7 2.6.15-17-k7 

and copied the new initrd.img file in /boot/

After that, my system worked perfectly.

Note: I'm not sure which package is reponsible for the creation of the
the initrd.img... Before manually creating the file (using mkinitramfs)
I tried to do a dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-2.6.15-17-k7 but it didn't
work...
