+Interesting.  I guess you didn't configure eth0 from the Install 
+Summary.  You can do it from the chroot (using Colin's suggestion) by

+There are really two issues here.  One is getting your system to work 
+again.  The other is finding out what went wrong to begin with.  For the 
+latter, you should probably open a bug describing exactly what you did 
+in the initial upgrade, and attaching the files from /root/drakx.  I've 
+never done a distro upgrade myself, as I install multiple fairly 
+identical systems, and I keep a set of post-install scripts to bring a 
+newly-installed system to the same state as a previous one.  So I know 
+virtually nil about the internals of how an upgrade actually works.
+
+If all else fails (and after you attach the files to the new bug), you 
+could try re-running the upgrade.  If you can get to package selection, 
+"Individual Package Selection" may get you what you need, and Summary 
+will allow you to configure video and network.  But this will overlay 
+the /root/drakx files.
