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)
