</div></div>Looks to me like you have NOT upgraded to 10.4... that is, the upgrade<br>
did not complete successfully.<br>
<br>
Unfortunately, there are enough ways for an upgrade to break that this<br>
may not be resolvable via the mailing list. A clean OS reinstall is<br>
often the simplest way to fix it (having /home on a separate filesystem<br>
from / makes this relatively painless, but if you followed a default<br>
install then you probably have a single filesystem). You did back up<br>
your data before upgrading, right? ;)<br>
<br>
You might try catching the grub dialog right after reboot and picking<br>
one of the earlier non-debug backup kernel/OS options as a way to get an<br>
operational system to start from again.<br>
