Same problem
- unable to finish the upgrade to Feisty: kernel 2.6.20 not activated
- getting stuck every time I want to install a package that requires kernel 
dependancies
- having to wait for every time failing configuration each time I want to 
install anything
- no clue about what is mdadm is used for
... quite annoying, even though the previous kernel keeps working well (no USB 
problems)
I created a duplicate: Bug #108675 before being redirected to this

*** Precision: affects also the -386 kernels, not only -generic  ***

Details (similar):

$ sudo dpkg --configure -a

Please hurry up, even though using Linux has always been sometimes a
synonym for patience ...

** Changed in: initramfs-tools (Ubuntu)
       Status: Unconfirmed => Confirmed
