ok i tried a few things when i get the blinking cursor on black screen (after grub screen), I can do a ctrl-alt-del and get to the prompt and quickly do a init 3 and prevent system reboot. After this I can do ctrl-atl-f2 and login. I can also do a sudo dhclient eth0 and get an ip addy and get internet access. However it seems the file system is mounted as ro. This also explains the message on tty1 (after I press ctrl-alt-del) which says "cannot remove /forcefsck read-only file-system" Should I boot from jaunty livecd and add /fastboot to my partition. Will that work?
