Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Could you please add the log files from '/var/log/dist-upgrade/' to this bug report as separate attachments? Thanks in advance.

Sorry. Can't get them now.

I will boot this T61p with Knoppix, and retrieve the files for you. It will take a few days, but I'll post the rest of the files. The system just won't boot. If it is possible to recover this and you have suggestions on how to recover what I had I'll try that too.

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement (jibel)]

You can also boot from a livecd and access your hard drive from there to retrieve the log files.

that's what i'm going to do

adding files as requested.

[cmnorton (octopusgrabbus)]

The previous log files are from a directory marked with a time, 20100430-1447. I've got another set in the higher level /var/log/dist-upgrade directory, if those are needed.

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement (jibel)]

The logs are from your upgrade to hardy. Please attach those in the higher level /var/log/dist-upgrade directory. Thanks

[cmnorton (octopusgrabbus)]

Upper directory dist-upgrade log files uploaded as requested.
