Okay,

I have tried to get as much information for you as possible. My kernel version
(as of today) is 2.6.10-5-386 and my hardware catalogue ID thing is
ab4d55311e734d27f3679e60a3ba8604 - a standard Dell Inspiron 510m.

I went into 'recovery mode' and jotted down all that was left on the final
screen in case it was of any use to you (a real pain without copy and paste, but
did my best to be exact!):
io scheduler anticipatory registered
io schedular deadline registered
io schedular cfq registered
RAMDISK driver initialised 16 RAM disks of 8192K size 1024 blocksize
input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard on isa0060/serio0
EISA: Probing bus 0 at eisa0
EISA: Detected 0 cards.
NET: Registered protocol family 2
IP: routing cache hash table of 2048 buckets, 16Kbytes
TCP: Hash tables configured (established 16384 bind 32768)
NET: Registered protocol family 8
NET: Registered protocol family 20
Restarting tasks ...<6> Strange, kswapd0 not stopped

ACPI wakeup devices:
  LID PBTN PCI0 USB0 CH1 USB1 USB2 USB3 MODM PCIE
ACPI: (Supports S0 S1 S3 S4 S4bios S5)
RAMDISK: cramfs filesystem found at block 0
RAMDISK: Loading 4264KiB [1 disk] into ram disk... done.
VFS: Mounted root (cramfs filesystem) readonly.
VFS: Cannot open root device "hda6" or unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)

I have Windows to boot back into, but this is a really bad look for Ubuntu if
newbies click on the 'Update' button and can no longer boot!!!
