Comment 10 for bug 77966

I just had the installer crash while upgrading my 11.10 to 12.10. I suspect that this is because it ran out of room in my boot partition. Since I set up these partitions myself (some years ago. When I partitioned the boot partition could hold around 5 versions of the Linux kernel. Today I have space trouble maintaining 2.) I'm matching it to the manual partition case, but note that I did not go into the advanced install options - I chose the upgrade radio button and trusted ubiquity to handle things cleanly.

I fear that I shall find that this hosed my existing install, so that I'll have to figure out recovery before regaining access to my data.

The upgrade path also prompts me to create a new user on the system, which suggests that existing users won't be preserved.
