Same problem here.

Installed hardy server amd64 from scratch, /boot is on lvm. Initially there were no problems. After the first kernel upgrade (probably the first, not 100% sure) got the directory structure warning. Kept ignoring the warnings, the system was working fine. Until this last hardy kernel upgrade, that would be linux-image-2.6.24-19-server, usual warning but the system did not reboot anymore. Don't have access to the server console, the admin that eventually restarted the server selected LinuxOLD.

The warning is trivial to replicate: just install hardy server, tried with i386 under virtualbox, and manually partition and put the whole root on lvm (including /boot). After the system is installed, run apt-get upgrade, the newer kernel will be installed. You will see the directory structure warning. This test system rebooted fine for me.

See attachment for exact warning.
