Hi Francis,

Are you able to reproduce the failure if you boot with the old backup?

Also, you attached two old config files, xorg.conf.20090330204509 and xorg.conf.20090330181256. Which of those two was in place when the error occurred?

While obviously we wouldn't want to see the user's system "trashed", at least it sounds like the recovery process worked okay for you.

Also, it is generally recommend that people upgrade from Hardy to Intrepid, and then Intrepid to Jaunty. Testing generally focuses on Distro -> Distro +1 upgrades, and Distro -> Distro + 2 upgrades are not usually supported.
