The clock was slightly out (in the future by a couple of minutes) so I 
reset it and tried again. Same error unfortunately. However, in the 
process, I noticed that the timestamp for all the files on my system 
appears to be "Jan 1 1970". If I touch a new file, it is created with 
the date "Jan 1 1970".

If this is not a normal state of affairs (and I'm guessing that it isn't 
;-) ) then it seems likely that I've made a mistake somewhere along the 
upgrade process. In this case, I will regress and start again with an 
old kernel.
