I upgraded //grendel today. It was running Ubuntu Linux 9.04, and I used the built-in upgrade for Ubuntu Linux 9.10. The upgrade is a complex process, starting with the download and execution of the upgrade programs, preparation for the upgrade, the download and installation of new packages, the removal of obsolete packages, and a final restart.
The whole process took seven hours. In the end, I have a broken PC. Linux boots, almost. The ROM BIOS starts Linux but Linux never switches to graphics mode, so I assume that X is not running. The system responds to ping but I cannot SSH or TELNET to the system.
Phooey.
