I ran into another problem. After (mistankingly) trying to install the -686 package, I couldn' t seem to remove it. I had to do this:

1) sudo touch /lib/modules/2.6.15-51-686
2) sudo dpkg -r linux-backports-modules-2.6.15-51-686
You should get a FATAL error, however it will remove part of the package

3) sudo dpkg --purge linux-backports-modules-2.6.15-51-686
You should now get complete removal. Issuing this last command again will give an error about unexisting package confirming its complete removal.

We tried the proposed fix and it didn't work. I am waiting for a copy of the output of initial booting sequence, although it didn't get very far.
