Ubuntu - Failure on upgrade from 6.06 Dapper Drake to 6.10 Edgy Eft

Asked by t1shopper in Linux Setup, Ubuntu

Tags: ubuntu, failure, upgrade, dapper

I was upgrading using gksu "update-manager -c" and when the files were installing, my computer when into power saving mode and the screen powered off. Well, when I came back, the screen would not wake up no matter what I did!! So I was forced to hard power cycle.

When I booted up, it went through GRUB just fine (dual boot) but after that, nothing. The Linux kernal doesn't uncompress and boot. The screen just sits there with a blinking cursor in the upper left hand corner of the screen. No prompt, just a blinking cursor.

Is there any way to rescue this? Can I reinstall Ubuntu without loosing all the data?
