Bug#310420: tried initrd-tools-0.1.81 from US and still the same error

[Marius Mikucionis <mmikucionis@gmail.com>]

Package: initrd-tools
Version: 0.1.79
Followup-For: Bug #310420

strangely I still get the very same loop and message.
and message includes initrd-tools-0.1.80 no matter what version of 
initrd-tools is installed. 
shall I also reinstall kernel-image-2.6.11 with initrd-tools-0.1.81 ?
simple reboot does not help.
