Help! updated libc6 now my Ubuntu has kernel panic

[kdavison007]

So I did something stupid and updated a debian version of libc6 on my Ubuntu Hoary install not knowing how important this library is. Well, next thing I know I can't run anything. Knowing death was upon the system I rebooted and sure enough, kernel panic. I tried a couple work-arounds involving updating to Breezy initrd and kernel, but I can't get past chrooting my system when using the live CD. I'm following this but after I mount my hard drive (mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1" and run "chroot /mnt/hda1 /bin/bash" I get "chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': No such file or directory"

Is there another way around this or another solution?

Are you mounting the partition as read only?
A lot of LiveCD's do this by default.

Explicitly tell it to mount with rw permissions.

I checked the manpage for mount and by default it mounts with rw permissions. I even handed it the -w switch to make sure.
