Did an upgrade from Jaunty to Karmic and the process appeared to work.
My Jaunty install was using restricted Nvidia drivers installed via
Restricted Drivers tool, rather then Envy.
On reboot, the white Ubuntu logo is present but then the screen goes
black and there is a lot of HDD activity (I can tell from the LED that
it's a repetitive thing, rather than something like fsck running). If I
ctrl-alt-f1 the banner is very flickery and the keyboard is mostly
unresponsive. I can restart in recovery mode and delete xorg.conf at
which point the machine boots properly and GDM appears. Once I'm logged
in I'm unable to get the restricted Nvidia drivers working (any attempts
cause the same problem) on reboot.
