failed to upgrade from hardy to lucid alpha 3

[Liam Bedford]

Binary package hint: update-manager

Processing triggers for initramfs-tools ...
I installed hardy (using the alternate installer, openssh-server as the only
task selected) on an apple TV. Only changes from default were:
comment out this line in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer.conf:
#blacklist vesafb

add the following lines to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules:
fbcon
vesafb
8139too

then I ran
update-initramfs -u
and rebooted.

Then I ran
do-release-upgrade -d, which said:
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-27-generic
cpio: ./etc/modprobe.d/arch-aliases: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-27-generic
dpkg: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Exception during pm.DoInstall(): E:Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)

Could not install the upgrades

The upgrade is now aborted. Your system could be in an unusable
state. A recovery will run now (dpkg --configure -a).

Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and
include the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ in the bug report.
