You can try an older kernel, there's a chance it's initrd isn't tainted with a set of rules that has watch in it; you'll then be able to boot in and fix it.
Alternatively you can get in to your system via chrooting. That's a bit of console work though, and really depends on how you set things up. You'll have to manually start any raid, lvm, cryptosetup etc items, then mount your / and /usr partitions, and add a bind to /dev and /sys and /proc inside of where you mounted / on and then chroot in to it. There are guides for that... but like I said this is all extremely dependent on your setup. Aurius Bendikas wrote 40 minutes ago: (permalink) I can get past the event storm.
