Try booting to recovery mode and Alt+F1 to a console.
Login.
Then try "sudo dpkg --configure -a" (no quotes).
At this point you could restart and you should be able to login or you
can continue with the upgrade...
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade

Subject: booting problem

I was downloading updates when I lost power and now I can not get
lucid running on the netbook.  It will boot to the user screen but the
mouse pad nor the mouse works.  When I boot using recovery mode it
gets part way then freezes.  My other version of 10.4 netbook works
fine.  Any suggestions?

Thanks very much

screen stops at [6.753165] sd 2:0:0:0: Attached SCSI removable disc disk

the after alt1 f` or ctrl alt f1 it says unknown key pressed use set
codes to make it known.

I'm guessing the key map may not be set for some reason there. Can you boot to
an earlier kernel? That may be your best bet for now

Using an earlier kernel does not help.  Ihave a recent image of the install and all my data on a separate partition.  should i just do a restore?


By the way when exactly do you hit cntrl alt f1?
