Latest kernel (2.6.24 -12) upgrade hosed my system

[PJJ]

A couple of days ago I executed the most recent update and the upgrade to kernel 2.6.24 -12.

The kernel upgrade exited with an error (which did not stay on the screen). Thereafter I could not start my computer at all.

This problem also affected my installation of GG on a separate drive.

I had to re-install both operating systems on their respective drives in order to use the computer again.

Now there is a reminder to upgrade to 2.6.24-12 displayed at all times.
Question: Did anyone lese have a botched upgrade to 2.6.24 - 12 or was this a problem confined to my system?
Is it safe to upgrade to this kernel version or would it be wiser to wait for the next kernel upgrade?

After going through a re-install and data retrieval I am not interested in another round of re-installations.

I was able to install the new kernel just fine (although that kernel version messed up the virtual terminals on my kubuntu machine, so I'm still using -11).

Do you have a separate /boot partition for your kernels that may have ran out of space during the upgrade? Or do you remember what kind of error you got?

isn't that the bug in libc6 ?

Possibly, I believe the error message said something about a 'lib' not completely installed.

Looks like I better stay with version 11 until 13 comes out.
