You will more than likely need to boot to root recovery and run:

sudo apt-get -f install

To resume to update (assuming the power off hasn't damaged boot files and such and you can get that far). If power is an issue, I suggest you get a cheap UPS.

If you use Ext4 in Oneiric the updates should be faster, you can use apt-fast instead of apt-get to download files faster. If you add the mount option:

noatime

It will make disk access a little faster

Can you help with this problem?
