I saw a lot of fixes listed here but I was just lazy I guess.  Here is
what I did.

1. sudo su -
    --> I rooted!!!!
2. cd /boot
3. for each in `ls *-generic`
    do 
        mv $each $each.old
    done

Since packages already in /var/cache/apt/archives from failed update.
4. cd /var/opt/cache/archives
5. dpkg -i linux-[dhir]*

Even with the server up, the files themselves are already open to the
kernel at the specified inode location, all I did was change the name.
When the installer ran, there were no files to backup so no error
message.

The update-grub run by the install finds the *.old packages anyway so if
a problem persisted on reboot then I would just use one of those. Worst
case I would just boot off a rescue CD / Desktop CD and copy the .old to
the original names, run update-grub and reboot.
