This happened to me today too, but I recovered OK. First, I booted from a second Debian installation and fscked the partition containing the crashed system. There were lots of errors. # e2fsck -f -v /dev/hda? Having got the original system to boot I ran # dpkg --configure -a to configure the downloaded packages that had not been configured because of the crash. This threw up an error that two packages were corrupt and needed to be reinstalled. I did that using # apt-get --reinstall install <packagename(s)> All is running sweetly now.
