I had the same problem when going from slink to potato.

It's some strange interaction between the new libraries and the kernel
that's going screwy. I finally solved it by booting my backup filesystem
which still was slink (sorry, I guess you can't do that...), and
building a 2.2.x kernel there, and booting that. With that kernel, no
problems whatsoever...
You won't be able to build a kernel on the screwy system, as make
depends on the date not hopping around... I guess I or someone else
could build a kernel-image package for you. Standard UDB?
