Seconded.
I find I need to do an explicit flash-kernel on both my SheevaPlugs
after any kind of upgrade involving the kernel.
Despite the name, it doesn't actually flash anything on a SheevaPlug;
it just builds new uInitrd and uImage files in the /boot directory.
That's all it needs to do on some platforms, yes. I blogged about the
setup I did for the imx53 and marvell buildd boards at ARM, which
includes a bit of tweaking to make sure f-k is run
automatically. Changes in newer packages (since squeeze) will make
these obsolete, but if you're not there yet they may help you too.
Thanks to everyone for the help!
The machine is my ipv6 gateway -- it's sole reason for existing is to
handle ipv6. So, what I did (in desperation, before the replies about
flash-kernel started coming in) was install the newest kernel from
squeeze-backports, "linux-image-2.6.39-bpo.2-kirkwood". This dragged in
new initramfs-tools and linux-base packages. Between the three of them
these upgrades may have done a flash-kernel -- as well as installing the
new kernel image.
In any case, that seems to have turned the trick -- though not,
perhaps, for the reason I originally thought.
All's well that ends well!

PS: I've done regular upgrades on this machine in the past, some of
which have involved new linux-image packages. I don't understand why I
haven't stumbled on this bug before this. Any thought?
