@Cameron: Sorry, I read your comment after my last post.

I used the Network upgrade (recording to the Ubuntu homepage the
recommended way for Updating Ubuntu 7.04 to 7.10).

I applied all updates for 7.04 first, then rebooted and than did the
upgrade to 7.10.

I only used standard apps which I always installed through the Update
wizard (? - German: "Paketverwaltung") The only special thing installed
were dmraid (I have a FakeRaid system) and Beryl. I also used the
"restricted" ATI video driver which came with 7.04.

The described error occurred directly in the update assistent window
(Update status was about 40 to 50 %. No other apps were running). The
dialog box offered to report the bug which opened the FireFox browser.

After reporting the bug I closed the browser, which was only possible
through File -> Exit by the way. It seems as if the windows manager
installation was "incomplete" at that point, perhaps due to the Beryl
installation(?).

After returning to the update window the update continued, but suddenly
the window closed without a warning, I was not able to see what was just
going on in the update log as the window closed to quickly. So, perhaps
another module might be responsible for failed upgrade.

Well that was it. I rebooted (suspecting that this might be the last
time I see my ubuntu desktop :-) ). At the next boot the boot log
stopped with a "kernel panic" message saying that no root was set (or
something similar).

I mainly tested Ubuntu to see what "this thing" is (I use Windows as
default system and wanted to see something else). :) - So no important
data was destroyed. And installing is not so difficult (despite of the
dmraid part :( ).
