Anyone here had any luck upgrading Ubuntu 10.10 to 11.04?
No matter the method, I get undesired results.
From a fresh install
First tried do-release-upgrade. This did not go over well.
Then tried apt-get update/upgrade first before do-release-upgrade
Then I tried apt-get update && apt-get upgrade followed by distupgrade.
Worked once but I had to start over and now it gives me errors at the end.
Something like "ubuntu upgrade bios or use force_addr"
It seems I just can't get 11.04 to ever work fully. Has anyone else here had any luck?

Re: Ubuntu upgrade
The only way that I've heard of anyone successfully running a 11.xx release is by using an old 10.xx kernel with it, post-upgrade. This is because Ubuntu no longer properly supports Xen HVM -- despite the fact that the distribution it is based on (Debian) does still support it.

If ti was on a dedicated machine would this not be an issue?
Re: Ubuntu upgrade
Yes, Ubuntu properly supports bare hardware platforms.
