Just happened for me again, too:

root@caravan:~# gzip -t /boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-27-386

gzip: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-27-386: unexpected end of file

So now the default grub entry points to an unbootable kernel. :(
If it's hard to fix initramfs-tools, please at least use "gzip -t" to check if the initrd has been successfully created.
