Hello everybody,

I also had the same bug just after an upgrade and I would like to thank to Sebastian for the helpful commands to boot from the grub prompt !

I did not find the file core.img in my /boot/grub directory. When I upgrade my system (Debian Sid), the new package grub-pc_1.97+20091130-1_i386.deb, the file core.img was there. I have not the package memtest86 installed on my system.
The problem produced the next boot following an upgrade of my system, done the 11/28/2009 with the safe-upgrade option). I notice an new initrd image created the same day that the upgrade without any action by me.

I hope these information could help you, because this bug is a little critical ;)
