It left the old kernel from 14.10, and it wouldn't boot with either
kernel, with systemd nor upstart. I must admit I didn't take the time
to mount the root fs and examine the logs, as I was in sort of a hurry
to get the machine up and running again. Next time I install I will
obviously do that, though.

I've installed an extra disk, and intend to install 15.04 onto that
later, so I can easily reboot into 14.10 and examine what happens.

What I *did* find out, was that the magic sysrq keys worked. I was able
to sync and reboot with those, so I didn't have to do a hard reset.
What I don't know, is what that means. I would guess it just means that
the kernel hadn't panicked?
