Well its been a couple of weeks and a new machine has been built Ubuntu 6.10 has been installed and I braved the upgrade once again. Same thing only this time I found out the reason for the seemingly fatal error. The upgrade does not rebuild or at least does not check the fstab for missing or bad uuid's after the new kernel goes in. The uuid must have changed (I have 5 disks 7 partitions) for one of the disks and another disk device went missing altogether. The disks are fine I managed to sort that out and the system boots fine now. Might I suggest rebuilding the fstab from scratch and archiving any user special mount in another file. I might be the only person who has had this problem but it's probably worth altering the upgrade mechanism.
The fsck error was a response to being given a bad uuid. There is nothing wrong with fsck.
