Maybe the upgrade did not properly install HAL, or 'missed' it? I would
check for it's presence.

If it's not there and you can't get an IP I would suggest running the
livecd (which hopefully you can get an ip from) and chrooting in to your
environment directly, and doing an apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
