Affects: linux-meta linux-image-2.6-amd64-k8 (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
Recently, I used the Ubuntu update utility to update my kernel from
2.6.12-9-amd64-k8 to 2.6.12-10-amd64-k8.

However, the new kernel 2.6.12-10-amd64-k8 does not boot. The kernel
itself seems to work, but it then says "shared library not found ...
libc.so.6" and many others and then starts the busybox.

Booting 2.6.12-9-amd64-k8, which is still in the grub menu.lst, works
correctly.
