I was able to boot into text mode by editing the Grub menu entry, and this was stable. Unfortunately this isn't a "spare" machine for me - I need it to work reliably. For the time being I am downgrading to 9.10. But I'll be changing back when stability has been fixed.

I also experienced this. However, a newer version of the kernel was installed too. When I chose the previous kernel through grub, it booted up properly, though i got some errors about apparmor with the older kernel.

    Further to this - package installed updates this evening. X now
    crashes immediately on bootup to black scree with unresponsive

    fixes applied)
