Sure:

You probably missed the "Upgrading using the alternate CD/DVD" section.

What happens when you place the alternate CD in the drive while you are
in Feisty?


Nothing happens.





When I use the instruction "If the upgrade dialog is not displayed for
any reason, you may also run the following command using Alt+F2: " I get
the kdesu dialog but then nothing happens. If I run the sam command from
a terminal I get this...

[: 23: 7.10: unexpected operator

Could not find the upgrade application in the archive, exiting

When I insert the CD, it is auto-mounted at /media/Kubuntu 7.10 i386. I
think the spaces in the mount point are causing the problem. I'll try
and mount the cd at /media/cdrom. I'll post the results.

Thanks,

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


Well, I'm pretty much out of suggestions... perhaps this will work while
in Feisty:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo dpkg --configure -a
