I just finished my update. I have to say I am not impressed lately with Ubuntu. I have run into a total of 4 bugs so far (including this one) between 2 computers. All bugs were show stoppers for me and if I had not have had some decent experience with Linux my two machines would have been a bricks right now.

I know this isn't really the place for these complaints, but where is the proper place?

Anyway, things seem to go find with the dist-upgrade and then reboot. All hell seemed to break loose as I couldn't boot. When running in single user mode I saw a lot of references to "dm-linear" flashing by my screen. A quick google search told me to remove the evms package. Which I could do from a feisty kernel. After that, well, I'm typing this in KDE now... so it worked.

These bugs are serious, and now I'm a bit concerned that my machine is in an invalid state. How do I know if there are other Feisty packages that need to still be removed? How can I confirm Gusty is in place correct? Is there some sort of checksum function?

As a side note, World of Warcraft is still working. So this is good news.
