[Bug 659422] [NEW] Boot failure after upgrading kernel to 2.6.32-25-generic

[Dmitry Torokhov]

Public bug reported:

After installing 10.04.1 in a 32-bit VM and updating only the kernel
package to 2.6.32-25-generic the system fails to boot due to udevd
process segfaulting (somewhere in libc.so) and thus neither of required
kernel modules being loaded. Booting into previous kernel
(2.6.32-24-generic) brings the system back to the working state.
Initramsfs image for 2.6.32-25-generic appears to be in a good shape.

The issue affects 32 bit installations only; 64-bit guests boot fine
with both 2.6.32-24 and 2.6.32-25 kernels.

Please note that apport information has been collected on 2.6.32-24
kernel and not the troublesome 2.6.32-25.
