As it turns out, the initramfs of both kernels (2.6.27 and 2.6.28) did not contain any modules. I'm not sure what happened or what went wrong, but somehow the dist-upgrade process seems to have missed the entire "rebuild after modules installation" event. After booting into my system, a simple $ update-initramfs -c -k `uname -r` was enough to create a fully-working system again.
