I hit this same bug upgrading from Hardy to Intrepid Alpha 6. This is a killer for linux newbies and really should be addressed before Intrepid completes. I always use two root file systems so I can fall back if an upgrade fails. Most people aren't that paranoid and hence this bug will BRICK their computer until they boot (and possibly reinstall) from external media.
