I think I may have found something here (at least the problem's gone). It looks as if the upgrade managed to trash the hardware clock setting, and in addition when I booted to Linux, the wireless base station was weak so that the network was effectively down when ntpdate tried to run -- as a result on Linux I was getting a date of 1-Jan-1904. After manually running ntpdate on Linux I can now boot both OSes. Wierd!!! (I can only assume that OSX checks and won't run before its release date).
