My apologies if I am outside the process for reporting problems but this
is my first post.

I have had similar problems with an upgrade from 9.04 server to 9.10
server. Mountall failed and I was unable to connect to the network to do
any updates

After following this thread and with help from others, it appears that
the upgrade failed to modify menu.lst and my installation was trying to
boot from kernel 2.6.20-16-server instead of the latest 2.6.31-15
-generic-pae which was installed on the server but not listed in
menu.lst. This was why mountall failed - the kernel being used was too
old.

It would seem to me that this is a bug in the upgrade process.

 It is also evident that upgrade-grub does not work, as I eventually had
to modify menu.lst manually to get grub to boot with the correct kernel
-  upgrade-grub makes no changes to the file.

Sorry if I am out of line  or reporting this incorrectly.
