Upgrade failed using Alternate CD 7.10 to upgrade 7.04 on a Dell Dimension 2350.
Same CD was used to successfully upgrade 7.04 to 7.10 on a Dell Optiplex GX1.

What file would you need to see to compare these two machines ?

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Could you please add all the files contained in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ to your bug report as separate attachments? Thanks in advance.

Sorry Pedro,

My system broke down afterwards and I ended up reinstalling from fresh.
So I don't have any upgrade logs to post relevant to the bug, since those logs where lost with the reinstall.
