After booting it goes into single user mode and I assume that upstart is not installed correctly. Dapper to Edgy requires two aptitude dist-upgrades to install upstart. Are you waiting on the second?
Probably, I didn't realise that, but now the machine isn't in a state where that can happen easily.

I managed to get the upgrade completed by mounting a usb drive containing a repository mirror from single use mode. I imagine the same could be done for a cdrom. For those who are reading this in the archives, here's what I did... Remount / read-write $mount -o remount,rw / Load the usb-storage module $modprobe usb-storage Make dev nodes $mknod /dev/sdb b 8 16 $mknod /dev/sdb1 b 8 17 Mount the drive (/media/sdb1 already exists) $mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1 Upgrade $aptitude dist-upgrade -- Glenn Ramsey <glenn(a)componic.co.nz> 07 8627077 http://www.componic.co.nz
