Int 14 error when booting into 9.04 after upgrade

[Lance L]

Allowed Xubuntu update manager to upgrade to 9.04
I left the machine running and came back this morning to an "Upgrade failed, please check internet connection, etc. and try again" message. I ran the update manager and again selected to upgrade to 9.04. This time it ran through all the steps up to the reboot.

On reboot, I let Grub select the new Kernel 2.6.28.11 and immediately get the following error:

I get the same error if I select Kernel 2.6.28.11 (recovery mode)
If I select Kernel 2.6.27.11, I get a grey-blue screen (the background color of xubuntu login screen) which flashes a few times and locks up.
Only Kernel 2.6.27.11 (recovery mode) works correctly, but finds no package or other errors and only gets me to a console.

ADDED INFORMATION: I reinstalled Intrepid from CD (which worked fine) and then tried to upgrade to 9.04 again and got the same error on the reboot. Then I tried using a 9.04 Alternate Install CD for a clean install and again get the same error, but this time immediately after telling the CD to install (after passing a disk integrity check). So definitely repeatable on my system and only an issue with 9.04. This machine is an old Compaq Presario 5868, w/ 600mhz Athlon processor, AMD751 chipset, & 3DFX Voodoo 3 AGP video card. It utilizes a dynamic drive overlay and a Highpoint IDE hard disk controller to allow it to read a 120 Gig HD, otherwise stock.

I've had the same problem with upgrading on a Compaq 7000 from the prior Ubuntu version and it has the original hard disk drive. I reloaded from a CD with V9.04 and got the same error. Reinstall the prior version and it works fine.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates.

Any chance someone kept the upgrade logs from /var/log/dist-upgrade or the logs from a new install in /var/log/installer ? I know it has been a very long time, but sometimes... I am not able to reproduce this issue on my systems, installing 8.10, adding all the updates, then upgrading to 9.04 using update-manager.
