We all assume that, with a boot cd, live dvd, you can mount your root 
partition /somewhere

ls -trl /somewhere/boot/

and try to find a initrd-x.x.x which has been generated before the bug. 
In my case, I got:

initrd-3.6.5-tmb-desktop-3.mga3.img

and I have also the kernel

vmlinuz-3.6.5-tmb-desktop-3.mga3

(thanks to master tmb)

Now add a new entry in /boot/grub/menu.lst referring to compatible 
versions of initrd (not corrupted) and vmlinuz (be inspired by the ones 
already written in this file)

Reboot et select these ones.
