What I don't understand is why it worked last night and then today it was

unusual. It was a clean shutdown, so I doubt there are the usual bad
blocks from when the system crashes.

I don't have an initrd.img in the / or /etc folder. Not sure where else to
look for it (it's a custom kernel with ACPI, ALSA and nvidia support
compiled using the Debian Way).

I guess I could just re-install the base system and start over... :(
