Public bug reported:
Note : Reference to the "UpgradeNotes" specifies that the upgrade has to be
done one version at a time.
However reading the "Upgrading" web page I formed the opinion that the online
update would cope with the jump from 6.06 to 8.04 automatically. Maybe I
guessed incorrectly ?
During the upgrade installation I noticed a first significant error :-
The messages stated that this should be reported as a bug.
> update-manager package /var/log/dist-upgrade
> InstallArchives() failed
Activity continued for many more minutes before the installation aborted itself.
Upon restarting the computer the following message appeared :
>Kernel panic - not synching : VFS : Unable to mount root fs on unknown
block(0,0)
Trying to reboot with prior OS versions locks up & halts when resolving
the USB ports. (Only Windows XP works now in GRUB)
Attached are the dist-upgrade/logs.
