    I'm guessing the new kernel (2.6.27-11) is not properly listed on grub when it was updated. I suggest replacing the menu.lst under grub folder ( NEVER forget to back up the original file) by deleting it and then typing the following in console.
    Code: 
    sudo update-grub
    I think the recent kernel update is the buggiest one I've ever had. On mine it first gave me an error saying it couldn't find the partition, and then after another update my wireless stopped working, although everything works just fine on the older kernel (2.6.27-9)

    Heh, the new kernel fixed my wireless issues and the wireless switch finally started working properly.

    You can go into your menu.lst file with an editor and make sure that the entry for the new kernel matches the entry for the old one with the exception of the "kernel" line. The ROOT should point to the same place, but the initrd and the kernel file should point to the new kernel files.

    Well, hope you solve it.

    Now you need to explain to us why you're using ntfs, I mean really.
