I've had that happen myself for the last couple of kernel upgrades on my 
laptop, but not very often. Just turn off at the wall switch, slip out 
battery if it's being used, and turn on and boot again and all's well for 
another series of boots. Since the last kernel upgrade this happens less but 
still does occur.

I assume that it will rectify itself as the upgrades progress.
