Bug Description
Doing a straight upgrade from a fresh install of 7.04 to 7.10 fails on PowerPC.
Using the Update manager to do the dist upgrade, the following happens:
The Upgrade appears to run as expected. Upon reboot, after about 1 minute, the graphic boot screen drops to a busybox prompt. Busybox does not see any disks that I can tell, as I cannot see anything /dev/hd* or /dev/sd* to mount. Attempting to mount the disks inside of Busybox fails. I have worked around this by booting from the old initrd.img and vmlinux kernel files.
The network configuration was broken upon reboot. It appears that eth0 was not set to automatically come up. I am unclear as to why this was changed by the upgrade.
Network manager takes 100% CPU on boot. The only way I found to fix it is to kill -9. HUP does not work.
My hardware is an iMac G4 flatscreen. I am willing to test fixes if there is a need.
