Package: linux-image-3.2.0-4-amd64
Version: 3.2.57-3+deb7u1
Control: fixed -1 3.2.57-3
On seeing that the apt-get upgrade in my rc.local script had installed this security update (and nothing else), I rebooted with Alt+SysRq+b rather than waste time logging in and immediately rebooting (in hindsight possibly a bad idea, but /var/log/dpkg.log says the install was completed).
During boot, an error message appeared that a moddep file wasn't found (I can't give you the exact wording because it didn't go to kern.log), and the system came up without wifi (brcm80211) and with wider-than-normal console text (lack of framebuffer? nouveau/nvd9).
I attempted to fix this by running update-initramfs -u, but this made things worse, dropping to an initramfs shell with "Gave up waiting for root device" and "ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/[...] does not exist". (This system uses EFI boot.)

[...]

Now you have learnt not to do that.

Use Ctrl-Alt-Del in future, and ask debian-user to help you rescue your
system.
