Title:
  Update from 8.04 LTS to 10.04 LTS alpha-3 has serious problems on AMD
  K-6 system

Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  Yesterday I downloaded the Lucid alpha-3 ISO and started to upgrade
  the following system from 8.04 LTS, after updating the 8.04 system to
  the latest packages. The upgrade took about 11 hours, and resulted in
  a partially functional system. I had previously booted the system from
  an 10.04 alpha3 live CD, which seemed to work reasonably well (This
  system is identified as 'max' in bug #528767, regarding problems with
  the live CD). So I decided to try actually upgrading this computer to
  Lucid.

  After the initial update (11 hours later), the system seemed to be
  running lucid, so I rebooted. The X server would not start, even in
  low-res mode. BTW I noticed that a special mysql server was running
  (two instances) during the upgrade, taking up typically about half of
  CPU time (observed with 'top').

  So this morning I booted into recovery mode, and used apt-get to
  update some more. Over 200 packages were installed.

  After rebooting again, the system started up and tried to auto-login,
  but kept failing to start Gnome, so a login screen kept flashing onto
  the screen.

  At this point, I logged in from another system using ssh, and
  generated an xorg.conf file using `Xorg -configure`. Also, I had saved
  an old xorg.conf file in my home directory. I combined the 2 (updating
  the X driver name and using the Monitor config from the Xorg-generated
  file into my old xorg.conf).

  I have enclosed the final xorg.conf and the one generated by Xorg

  that there was a change in display drivers between the two LTS
  releases.
