Upgrade to 13.10 dies silently

[alfred aita]

Get region error when I boot up. This started when I moved to 13.04 from 12.04 lts. System now seems to die when I try to move to Saucys... 13.10

1) cat /proc/version_signature > version.log
2) sudo lspci -vnvn > lspci-vnvn.log
nothing returned for either command
currently using ubuntu 13.04.
