Error: Boot loader returned no data (Debian)

This error is due to Debian 6 moving from grub to grub2.

After updating the kernel, please run the following -before- rebooting:

cp /boot/grub/menu.lst.xen /boot/grub/menu.lst

Please note that if you do not do this, the VM will not boot normally. In this instance, please click the 'Reboot in recovery' option within the Cloud control panel. You can then log in and make the relevant changes then reboot back into normal mode. If /boot/grub/menu.lst.xen no longer exists, you must manually create a grub1-style menu.lst.
