That sounds as if you might have been in X while upgrading, and
dropped out into a console that was displaying the original startup
messages (which look very much like my own). See §4.1.5.

If you can't find a shell prompt (eg, try Ctrl-Alt-F2 etc for possible
VCs) so you can carry on, it may be necessary to close down as
gracefully as you are able to, and then login as root to a textual VC
to carry on with the upgrade.  APT is pretty clever and picking up
where it left off, though you might benefit from running commands
such as:

  # apt-get -f install
  # dpkg --configure --pending

if things have got somewhat wedged. (See §4.5.3 and the sections
around there.)

Cheers,
David.
