Bug Description
Hi,
I just tried to upgrade my Xubuntu Dapper Drake to Edgy. I used $ sudo update-manager -c -d.
Everything went fine, the packages were downloaded and installed, the installer asked for some changed configuration files (cups related IIRC). The progress bar showed 3 minutes left. When the update Manager suddenly disappeared. X was also dead (there were no windows, no bar, just the background image). I had tried to start Quod Libet (a music player) shortly before the crash.
I used a text terminal to reboot the machine, but now it doesn't boot. In recoverymode it says something like "waiting for root filesystem" (I can check that if its important).
I will try to attach the logs from /var/log/

I can confirm the crash here during a xubuntu dapper->edgy upgrade. I get exactly the same error message.
I woudl appreciate feedback from the xubuntu team, it looks like we have to remove the upgrader as the recommended way to go from dapper->edgy in xubuntu :/
Cheers,
Michael
