Sorry...what happened in my case was the new pae kernel was
installed on the 21st...but I did not reboot. Today when I
did, the boot failure happened. So I went back to the old kernel, and
this morning did an upgrade at which point udev 170-1 was installed.
But initramfs was not re-created. So when I tried again to boot into
the pae kernel it again failed. I will rebuild initramfs and we'll
see what happens.
