Upgraded an older machine from 3.4 (updated) to 3.8. The update did not succeed and was greeted with a black screen...
I didnt know at the time it crashed, thought maybe it was taking a long time so I left the machine running.
I came back 2 days later and was still on black screen, had to hold power button to turn off PC.
On reboot it made a Kernel panic and stopped. Rebooted, same.
I held SHIFT on reboot and reverted back to previous 4.10 kernel and it booted ok.
Then trying to do updates it said installation was broken and I had to do a repair (sorry I didnt take note of the command but I think it was a dpkg --config something). It work on a bunch of packages for awhile and came back to prompt. Rebooted OK so I ran the updates (step 1) .
I had to leave but it seemed to be working. I'll see tommorow.
If you have any tests for me to do, I'll run them also.
Cheers!
