Try booting to recovery mode (Recovery) menu item at grub menu. And
select the dpkg option (can't recall what the details are, but should be
easy to recognize). Then continue to boot. Then try 'sudo dpkg
--configure -a'. If it still fails, then try loading the complaining
packages individually:

$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-2.6.28-3-rt
etc.

However, looking at:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/linux-image-2.6.28-3-rt
it appears that you really don't want to install that unless you have
some special reason to do so. You might try instead:

$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-rt
$ sudo sudo dpkg --configure -a
