Christopher M. Penalver, problem update, a day later: (a) I was able to get back to the boot capability to boot into my trusted old FC3 installation. I had to do a "sudo update-grub" from the new installation (13.10). The only way I could do it by Ctr-Alt-F1 switching into terminal. The gui desktop was useless. Apparently the aborted installation changed but not finished MBR. Grub now looks at the new installation. When I did the sudo grub-update from the 13.04 boot it did recognize the FC3 installation, but it looks like grub from MBR now reads the cfg from the 13.10 installation. Anyway, I'm glad that at least I'm back to square one.
(b) Also, from 13.10 terminal mode I did a "uname -a", see attached. This is to tell what kernel was installed. Let me know how to proceed, and thanks.

Scanner is not found - reported by Simple scan. I tried Ask Ubuntu, but got no answer. I have a parallel installation of 12.xx on the same computer, and scanner does work. So what is specific about 13.04? I have also an old FC-3 installation and the scanner works, using sane with xinetd. I notice that 13.04 does not use xinetd. So how is the scanner accessed? Whatever it is, it works on 12.xx and does not on 13.04.
