If I understand correctly, you upgraded the kernel and the new kernel
would not boot. Then it would be a kernel bug.

- From the installation/upgrade instructions from sarge to etch I
remember, that one was supposed to upgrade the kernel and just the
kernel, then reboot and upgrade other packages. Is this still the case?
Did you follow the upgrade instructions?

NB: Unfortunately, I could not find any recent installation / upgrade
instructions for lenny. The development version [1] still claims to be
about the upgrade from sarge to etch and always refers to etch and never
to lenny [2].
