I am having this problem after upgrading from Lenny to Squeeze. It is

reboot. I can boot into previous kernels still. Tried installing

Some more info...
I was following the directions on how to upgrade described here:
http://www.debian.org/releases/squeeze/amd64/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html
I had upgraded the kernel and udev, and had rebooted when the problem
occurred. I decided to boot into the Lenny kernel, and do apt-get
dist-upgrade there to see if that would help. Unfortunately, it did not.
I noticed that when I was booting into the earlier kernel, there was a
message about mounting none on /dev/failed, and something about devtmpfs
not available. This was early enough in the boot process, that I
couldn't find anything about it in the logs, however, and I did not see
these messages in the latest kernel that fails to boot.
thanks,
maria
Booted into single user mode, and saw that it seemed to be having
problems with the nvidia card, so I installed nvidia-xconfig, and
reconfigured udev. Then I was able to boot without any problems.
