(repeating for a better subject line)

I have an old laptop that I don't use every day. When I started it up
today, there were a slew of package upgrades, including a new kernel,
cups and
grub.

I've got 10.04.3, and was running kernel 2.6.32-33; the upgrade was to
2.6.32-34.

Most of the packages installed but the upgrade failed on cups, dbus and
grub. And I cannot boot into the
new kernel, but I can boot into the previous kernel. 

The apt error was about a conflict with the nvidia packages. I've got
the nvidia-agp module loaded. 

There's no initrd line in the grub menu list, and there no initrd in
/boot

I'm ok back in 2.6.32-33
