I would disagree that this issue is *fixed*. Bolek indicated that an *upgrade* from Feisty to Gutsy on a certain architecture (including a SiS 5513 IDE driver) will cause the computer to be unbootable, while a fresh install on the same computer will have it working like a charm.

There is some discussion as to possibly some changes needed in /etc/fstab in order to get everything working again. Perhaps this is all it takes, in my experience of trying this fix, it did not work.

At this point, it sounds like this could very well be an issue that could be fixed with proper documentation. Things are different between Feisty and Gutsy, and evidently a straight update as documented in the release notes is not working. It should be documented in the release notes how to switch a Feisty system over to a Gutsy system.

I'm at the point of having a broken system after a straight update. And just changing /etc/fstab did not do the trick for me. What else might I need to change?
