I very recently updated two systems from wheezy to jessie. Both are
running fine (I'm using one right now), but I had exactly the problem
above on one system.
I had an fstab entry that halted booting. Removed that line and it
booted fine.
The only other issue I've had since the upgrade is a wireless driver
(which I didn't want) was failing to load and my logs filled up 89G of
space telling me over and over in messages, syslog and kern.log until
the root partition was full.
