Thank you Brian for both responding so quickly and reminding me of the single user recovery console! I was able to reset my updates and get logged back in.
I have also been hunting down what went wrong, and have come to the conclusion that the bug is either a conflict between VirtualBox and upgrading from the Linux 2.6.20-10 kernel to the Linux 2.6.20-11 kernel -- Or between VirtualBox and QT. (I am leaning towards the kernel upgrade) I have some free time this weekend and I am going to try and reproduce the issue. I am almost certain that it has at least something to do with VirtualBox. I will post my results with as much detail as I can when I resolve it! Again Thank You!
