ah. _drat_. that's exactly what i did, and it overwrote...

oh wait... let me get this straight: there's *no* 2.6.39 initrd??
so, let us be clear: you installed 2.6.39-bp0.2-amd64 and yet there
is no file /boot/initrd-2.6.39-bp0.2-amd64 to match??
btw also - you mentioned "2.6.38" - i assume (given the listings
you've shown below) - i assume that you meant "2.6.39", is that
correct?

well, that's exactly what i did, and, by doing so, i found that it
was then *NOT* possible to reproduce the problem.
so please do not do anything right now! :) unless you have a
completely unusable system of course
so it would appear that the problem is that initramfs-tools is *NOT*
generating the initrd file!
