Public bug reported:
This crash was an 11.10 to 11.10 upgrade crash.
The upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 crashed first, and rendered the system
compromised. Specifically, my /home directories were "gone" and I
couldn't login with the GUI.
I was able to decrypt my user data using the shell in recovery mode,
then I proceeded to reinstall 11.10. Since program data was intact, I
selected the option to do 11.10 to 11.10 rather than wipe the old
install and reinstall.
The crash happened right after the installer reported that a vmware file
didn't match (between the 11.10 DVD ROM and the old installation). I
told it to retry, it appeared to be proceeding normally once more, then
BOOM (crash).
Perhaps my hard drive is bad, though it checked out ok before I did this
install. Or perhaps the DVD has errors, though it did verify cleanly
after writing in a different machine. Or perhaps there is actually a
bug in the installer.
Best regards,
