Ubuntu 8.10 Upgrade failed

[Shawn McMurdo]

Binary package hint: update-manager

message during upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 said that it failed to upgrade the package-manager and the upgrade was aborted. When I reboot grub shows it is booting 8.10. Boot fails and drops into shell saying it did not find the boot disk.
Power off and back on and system boots normally.
