FTR, this is backward - first update, then upgrade.

Its rather strange you can boot to single mode and not into normal mode.
tells me its not the kernel.

Why not boot to single mode and run each sysvrc script by hand.

I just did that and I'm back up on the machine. For some reason, the
system hangs on S19cpufrequtils. I'll see if I have time to dig into
that over the weekend. Thanks for the pointer!

It is not. It will likely hang the box during boot as stuff wait for udev
to create nodes that never show up.

I don't know if it will eventually timeout, but if it will, it will take a
_long_ time.

For some reason or another, we don't always have SIGINT (^C) and SIGQUIT
(^\) working properly on the console during early boot (when using sysvinit,
I don't know about upstart). This is a long-standing issue, which I don't
have the time to track down. If anyone would like to do it, it would be
really helpful.
