[Bug 875413] [NEW] after an unsuccessful upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 (wouldn't boot) I upgraded from 11.10 to 11.04 to save my installations and data and it crashed

[Gary Wilson]

Public bug reported:

got the black screen, flashing cursor upgrading to 11.10, didn't know
what to do, turned off computer, hooked up an old windows computer,
found the answer online to this bug but the computer would no longer
boot from the hard drive. Got a 11.04 install disk and tried to upgrade
to 11.10 from 11.04 while saving my installed programs and data and the
install crashed. I wanted to get back where I started and try the
upgrade to 11.10 again.
