You need to boot with a rescue disk (installer disk) and then re-generate the 
init ramdisk.  The modules needed early in the boot process are loaded into 
the ramdisk with the mkinitrd program (mkinitrd is what I would use with 
CentOS or other RedHat type distros and I am assuming the same for lubuntu).
