I think it was a fluke or operator error. If no one else reported it, I'd suggest just writing it up as a "Stupid User Trick" and get on with other more important things.

I still have not heard from anybody else who experienced the same problem. I guess calling it an operator issue may be right. The update seems to have not completed all the way through. By now it is hard to figure out why.

It appears to be two completely different installs of grub to me. Haven't messed with grub in a long time, but the config files appear to be two versions? Like the install stopped before it was done? I looked through the logs but did not see anything obvious.
Attached. grub.cfg is from the "good" install and grub.conf is from the "bad" install. That is the way they were named in the images.
Additionally, here is a directory listing of boot/grub for both
"Good" install
grub.cfg grubenv i386-pc/ locale/ splash.png unifont.pf2
"Bad" install
grub.conf menu.lst
I tar/gzipped /boot (including the kernels and everything) and placed them at http://smartappliances.us/ipfire.85.87.tgz if you want them for anything. I'll remove them at the end of the week.
If no one else has reported anything similar, I vote we call it "operator error" and move on.

Hi Rod,
there are any differences in the grub.cfg. Differences from the non working machine and the new working machine? It would be nice if you could provide both configs

I built a new router (core 85), loaded the config from the one that broke, then from the cli did the upgrade. It worked just fine. Same machine, same setup.
I have no idea why the other one broke on upgrade, but attempting to replicate the issue did not work. I do still have the original image (the broken one) if it would be of any use.

P.S. thank you, whoever decided to do automatic backups when performing upgrades! That saved me.

I believe those are the correct versions. I upgraded the machine and now get a grub error 15. I have no further information except the following:
It is an HVM virtual, running on an LV (should not make a difference)
To troubleshoot, I use kpartx to break it apart. When I mount the /boot partition, I see grub.menu.old, then a grub/ directory. The config file in the grub/ directory has none of the configuration options I expect.
I have made a copy of the image in case anyone wants me to do anything to it. Two other routers have worked just fine with this upgrade, but they are not on an LVM partition?
Anyone has any clues on what I should look for, let me know.
