Affects: linux-source-2.6.12 (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal

Description:
After having allowed the automatic update service to update
linux-image-2.6.12-9-386 to linux-image-2.6.12-10-386 on Ubuntu
Breezy, on next reboot the computer failed to boot with:

Booting with the 2.6.12-9-386 image is OK. The machine is an IBM
Thinkpad T42p notebook.

Is this the same problem bug 28970?

Here's the dmesg of a successful boot using 2.6.12-9-386:
