Comment 16 for bug 433943

The gift that keeps on giving... I would like to pass on my thanks to Angel Guzman Maeso (shakaran) for his advice from 8 years ago!

I've just installed 9.10 on an old Compaq SFF (small form factor business PC) and was hit with a non-booting OS after installing updates using the old-releases channel.

I followed all the instructions; the only steps that didn't work for me were steps #8 and #9

I had to perform 'chroot /media/karmic sudo dpkg --configure -a' instead of the 'apt-get dist-upgrade/apt-get -f install' which then went off to finish configuring/installing a fairly long list of packages.

So once again, thanks Angel.
