Anybody upgrade yet?

[Doug Stewart]

I don't know if this will help but??

Other known issues Switching to ext4 requires manually updating grub If you
choose to upgrade your / or /boot filesystem in place from ext2 or ext3 to
ext4 (as documented on the ext4
wiki<http://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Ext4_Howto#Converting_an_ext3_filesystem_to_ext4>),
then you *must* also use the grub-install command after upgrading to Ubuntu
9.04 to reinstall your boot loader. If you do not do this, then the version
of GRUB installed in your boot sector will not be able to read the kernel
from the ext4 filesystem and your system will fail to boot.


or this ???

If you want to perform an upgrade to the system, just log into the
"unprotected" desktop (ie reboot and press enter at the password prompt) and
run the upgrade as normal. Then reboot again into failsafe mode (entering
the passphrase when asked) and mount your encrypted userland to /zzz by
entering the following:

  sudo umount /usr
  sudo mount -t reiserfs /dev/mapper/cryptohome /zzz

Now run the buildsafe script again. It will see that the system has already
been migrated and all the changes will be moved into your encrypted space.
