Assuming the .deb of libc6 is still on your system (in
/var/cache/apt/archives/), you might try booting from your rescue disk,
switch to VC2 where you have a shell, mount your regular filesystem(s) under
/mnt and try something like
dpkg-deb --x /mnt/var/cache/apt/archives/libc6*deb /mnt
ldconfig -r /mnt
and then try booting to it. If it works, install the .deb again, this time
using dpkg, so that your package database becomes consistent again.
HTH,
