Comment 6 for bug 107249

I have re-installed using the release version.

I did save all of the contents from my /var/log directory so any files that would have been there are still available.

Also - I recovered my firefox session where I was searching for an answer after the upgrade failure and before the reboot. The string I had been searching on was:

  "Fatal: First sector of /dev/sdc1 doesn't have a valid boot signature"

I note that sdc1 (not sure which drive it was referring to) shouldn't have had a boot signature as I was booting from md0.
