Moving to kerenl, although it seems that there is something really wrong with your configuration. when you try booting an older kernel, does it work?

Boot to the working kernel, then remove the broken one and then update to the latest (2.6.38.8-32) and see if that works.
Comment 3 James McIntyre 2011-06-25 13:13:52 UTC 
Downloading of 2.6.38.8-32 kernel has solved the problem - thanks
