There *should* be some backup initrd's you could try. From the grub menu type 'e' for edit, then (doing this from memory) arrow down to the initrd line and type 'e' to edit the line. Next, move to the end of the line and delete your way back to the point where it says initrd /initrd.img and press tab a couple of times to get a tab-completion list of available initrd's. review the list and find the one foro your kernel. it should be initd.img-2.6.24-something... there should be one with a .bak extension... that's the one to try and see if it will boot. please report back on the results A
