OK, I remounted the CD at /media/cdrom and then re-ran the Alternativ 
CD/DVD Upgrade. The upgrade started, downloaded a couple of updates and 
then began the upgrade process. It finished with a message that the 
system was up to date.  Then it restored the system state and was done. 
I shutdown and then restarted with the new kernel. No change. It still 
won't boot the Gutsy kernel. I get the same error. I still have boot 
with the Feisty kernel.

Can you suggest anything else?

Thanks,
Rick
