UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCIES in circles after upgrade to Alpha 6

[udippel]

I upgraded from a working and freshly updated 9.04 (apt-get update && apt-get upgrade) to Alpha 6, with
update-manager -d
after it had worked well on my netbook.
Despite of the upgrade going through without a hitch, after reboot everything is damaged, it seems. I get UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCIES just flashing by, in circles. And this with the old as well as the new kernel, including recovery mode. I can stop the going round in circles with Ctrl-Alt-Del, which will gracefully shut down the machine.
It looks a bit like bug 432070.
It also talks about bad superblocks and all times in the future. I have no clue how to stop the circular flashing by, or how to enter a recovery console. It looks like a serious bug, not like a hard disk failure, because I have partitioned - as usual - into around 5 partitions (/usr, /var, /boot, /home, /tmp) and as far as I can make out, all suffer from the same 'problem'. The previous shutdown also was clean; done by the request of the upgrade program to restart.

It looks like a scripting problem to me. Firstly, why would it loop? (and not end me at a Control-D / shell). Why would it affect all partitions, why would all be 'in the future'?

Yes, it sounds like bug 432070 for me (you've asked there).
Try the workaround I've mentioned there (buggy_init_scripts = 1), you need to set this after having booted from a LiveCD and chrooted into the real root partition.
