This happened to me.

the last mounted time +6 hrs into the future on the root or boot
partition. When you re-boot, you get the weird behavior because the root
partition cannot be mounted because the last modified time is in the
future.
You can work around this by
1) waiting 6 hrs and then booting
2) setting the clock ahead in the BIOS and re-booting
