I went a slightly different root but my VPS is
working now. Unfortunately
I now seem to be in apt-get hell if such a thing exists. (
you're interested in the sordid details).

Try disabling filesystem barriers.
To do this you'll need to:
- Boot into rescue VM
- mount /dev/xvda1 /mnt # for example
- edit /mnt/etc/fstab to add "barrier=0" to the list of options for
the root filesystem, so for example it would read like:
/dev/xvda1 / ext3 defaults,relatime,barrier=0
- umount /mnt
- sudo halt
- boot VPS
Cheers,
Andy
