I'm trying to upgrade from Squeeze to Wheezy on a Motion M1400 tablet and seem to have hit the wall.
Initially I had Squeeze installed, and I tried to upgrade via Synaptic simply by changing the repositories from Squeeze-Updates to Wheezy, reloading, then marking upgrades and applying. This started ok but ran into a problem when I was told that the latest 686 kernel had bits that would not work on my single processor M1400. I was informed that I needed to uninstall my 686 kernel and install a 486 kernel. Since there seemed to be no way of exiting the upgrade in progress in order to achieve this, I shut the machine down after deciding to reinstall from scratch. Reinstalled Squeeze from a cd using expert install, and selecting the 486 kernel to be installed. All went well and I now had a working M1400 with Squeeze on it. Then attempted via Synaptic to again upgrade to Wheezy by changing the repositories from Squeeze-Updates to Wheezy. All went well and indications were that 1,646 packages would be installed or upgraded, 36 removed, and one held back. I reached as far as the "Installing and Removing Software" window and the completion bar had reached about 60% completion when the entire system froze up. The last two entries seen in the terminal window at the point of freezing were : Setting up sudo (1.8.3p2.1) Installing new version of config file /etc/pam.d/sudo I've now spent several hours repeating this experience once more with identical results and am becoming very frustrated. Is anyone able to suggest the root of the problem or advise where I can report the failure?
