Given that the upgrade installs a new kernel (2.6.30.8-64 from memory) which 
doesn't do networking, more than chill is required. I did this to my production 
laptop, then managed to do it again on a desktop. Since it happened after 
midnight, I just saved a dmesg for investigation, I assume all networking is 
dead since the desktop had the same problem.

Manual booting into an older kernel worked on the desktop, the laptop old kernel 
doesn't like something in the partial upgrade which did take place, so I'm 
somewhat hung on that one.
