If you can boot somehow (install CDs, e.g.) and mount whatever partition contains you system's "/boot" directory, you can make the symbolic links missing from the update. I believe they are:

initrd -> initrd-2.6.8-24.5-default vmlinuz -> vmlinuz-2.6.8-24.5-default

In fact it is ".10-default". So that it should look as follows: initrd -> initrd-2.6.8-24.10-default vmlinuz -> vmlinuz-2.6.8-24.10-default Yours Martin
