Possibly the problem has been repaired with subsequent updates. Try
booting to run level 3 (no X), and apply all the updates.

To boot to run level 3, append " 3" to the command line (the one that
starts "kernel") in grub.

<rant>This sort of occasional OOPs is why on initial installations I
set the system to boot to run level 3 rather than 5. I leave it that
way for a while until I am satisfied that everything works
correctly. It is also why I make sure I can log in to each of my
machines via SSH.</rant>
