Jon,
If your PC starts, can you enter the GRUB-menu (sometimes by pressing <Esc> when you see a screen with a line like "Gub loading stage 1.5..."?
If YES, then start the previous version, (i think) the 3d line stating something like
Ubuntu8.10, kernel-2.6...
If you are completely logged in, then open a terminal, and enter the command that gives the quantity free diskspace:
df -H
Is there a partition that is (almast) completely filled?
If YES, then try to remove some files that are on that partition.
In a terminal windows, give these commands (sometimes asking for your password);
1. try re-configure everything
2. remove "old" installation files, giving space
3. get new program-
4. download new versions & install them
5. try re-configuring everything;
this are the commands:
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get clean all
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo dpkg --configure -a
Does this help you?

I have the same problem with different version.
While running: sudo dpkg --configure -a
I got an error: gzip: stdout: No space left on device
df -H shows only boot partition 92% full the rest of them almost empty. I have a separate boot partition.
Can you please advise what I can delete on this parttion?
This is what I have there now:

Whould it be better to reinstall Ubuntu completely without creating separate boot parttion or making boot partition bigger? How big?
===================
Here is full output of sudo dpkg --configure -a

Since yesterday I already uninstalled two previous version kernels from boot partition, so I have some space there now. And I believe it I don't have reported error any more.
How ever here is the output of the commands you requested:

I am also attaching a tail of apt log file starting from the time this error first appears, just in case.
I don't think I would ever create separate boot partition again.
Thank you for your help.
Sergey.
