Hi all, I upgraded from 9.10, latest patch status, to 10.04 via update-manager. It's a virtual machine, powered by VMware Workstations 7.1 hosted on a Dell Inspiron 6400 running Ubuntu 10.04.
- Upgrade procedure runs flawless, except that the upgrade procedure didn't recognize that there is already Grub2 installed. After I selected "Keep current configuration...", I got a message that it could be that the actual grub configuration won't be able to handle the installation. However the system was booting fine - no errors etc. - I tried to recompile the VMware Tools, but there I got the first time the message regarding to the mtrr. - I re-installed the VMware Tools (that's without compiling) and it seems that the VMware Tools since then working fine. - But in /var/log/dmesg I found this: [ 0.000000] MTRR variable ranges enabled: [ 0.000000] 0 base 0000000000 mask 00C0000000 write-back [ 0.000000] 1 disabled [ 0.000000] 2 disabled [ 0.000000] 3 disabled [ 0.000000] 4 disabled [ 0.000000] 5 disabled [ 0.000000] 6 disabled [ 0.000000] 7 disabled [ 0.000000] PAT not supported by CPU.
