Bug Description

Upgrading from hardy to intrepid, the kernel fails to upgrade.

I was using a less conventional method to upgrade: got the alternate cd iso via torrent, mounted it at /media/cdrom0, started the update with «gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade"», and declined to download any updates to help take some load off the server on 8.10 release day +1.

The upgrade was suppose to work flawlessly and, well. didn't. :)
