0.6.2 was the first official release on the 0.6.x branch. There were some issues with an older version of unionfs on pre 0.6.2 builds. Then can be manually fixed, but you will need to do the following steps:
cd /oldroot/mnt/asturw/lib/ rm -rf modules Then reboot. The bug in the older unionfs code copied modules that were loaded to the unionfs partition. The modules are older and as a result will not load with the kernel from 0.6.2. Since the module isn't loading, the device isn't there (which is why ifconfig complains). That has been fixed in 0.6.2 and won't cause a problem on future upgrades.
