Received the same error, after upgrading from dapper to edgy. (Using apt-get dist-upgrade)
I can confirm the fix suggested in the previous comment worked. As after the upgrade, the kernel being booted by default was in-fact linux- image-386, rather than linux-image-generic The following command updated the correct initrd sudo update-initramfs -u -k `uname -r` -- usplash: no usable theme found for 640x480 https://launchpad.net/bugs/60621 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
