Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

I am running Ubuntu 10.10, linux 2.6.37-12 and tonight(2/15/2011) I
updated via Update Manager. This update contained the packages to
introduce a new linux image 2.6.38. Upon completing the update, I was
asked to restart to complete the installation. I restarted. I received a
message "mountall: disconnected from Plymouth" and was presented a login
prompt. I rebooted, and the same problem occurred. I went to a backup of
my syste, from 2/4/2011, restored my system, and then redi all the
updates. When I rebooted, the same problem occurred. I restored from
backup again, but did not include the seven software packages related to
the new kernel. The update was successful. I was able to boot since I
was still on 2.6.37-12. When I had the trouble booting into 2.6.38, I
tried re-installing all the plymouth packages to no avail. It would seem
that I am missing a package in this update.
