Did you run "luatools --generate"?

I use MKIV on Ubuntu 10.04 amd64, but from TeX Live 2010-pretest installed
using the "CTAN" installer, not from .deb packages.   A CTAN install can
co-exist with a package install as long as you don't let the installer create
symbolic links, so you can install TeX Live 2010-pretest without damage to
the Ubuntu packages.   If you have good network access to one of the
pretest archive sites then installing TeX Live 2010-pretest may be your
best route as you get newer versions of luatex, etc.  Many people have
much better network access to Ubuntu archives than they do to CTAN, in
which case the Ubuntu packages may be the only viable option.

For more debugging, follow the checks for versions, shadowing, etc. from
<http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Debian_installation>, in particular,
the "Postscript: Mark
IV" section, which does mention running "luatools --generate" as well
as manually
creating cont-en.fmt.
