Unfortunately, there are enough ways for an upgrade to break that this may not be resolvable via the mailing list. A clean OS reinstall is often the simplest way to fix it (having /home on a separate filesystem from / makes this relatively painless, but if you followed a default install then you probably have a single filesystem). You did back up your data before upgrading, right? ;) You might try catching the grub dialog right after reboot and picking one of the earlier non-debug backup kernel/OS options as a way to get an operational system to start from again. > Thanks, > > Jason > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > _______________________________________________ > vox-tech mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech > _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
