Every time I did, the laptop would refuse to reboot. I have now started running Fedora Core 5. No problems with that to date. I ended up in a situation where I could no longer upgrade the kernel.

Except few problems (with networking in particular) everything is ok. But after your post I will probably wait with upgrading my office machine ;) Well, I’m using Dapper on my laptop from flight2 and I’m pretty impressed.

The same issue reoccurs with the disk not being found. I have to revert back to the older kernel. It's not a big issue but I can't help feeling that I have done permanent damage to my installation. A clean installation of Dapper might be the best advice in my case. Since I did my messing around, I have been unable to upgrade successfully from kernel 2.6.12-9 to 2.6.12-10.

I'm glad I found someone else who was unlucky becuase I was feeling left out! Anyways, I'm going to wait until the final release until I upgrade for fear of another meltdown.

MySQL 5 in particular. Some dependencies required installation, perhaps a dozen, so I accepted those. MySQL 5 was installed. But on the next reboot, the same thing happened again. This time /dev/hda1 was not found. It seemed quite bizarre. I used my Ubuntu Live DVD to boot up the laptop. I checked the disk and /dev/hda1 was still there. I mounted it and decided to revert the grub menu.lst back to kernel 2.6.12-9. Lo and behold, my laptop could boot up again. Was it changing the kernel back? Was it mounting the disk? Was it just editing the grub menu.lst? I have no idea what resolved the issue. I would love to hear from someone who has an answer!
