Problems upgrading from potato to woody



Hi All!
 
        I added testing (woody) to my sources.list some days ago and carried out an upgrade of my potato box. I got two main problems (amongst others I may not noticed so far):
 
- It broke my lilo, leaving me with a missing library (/lib/ld-linux.so.2). I got the file mailed to me by another user, boot using floppies, and managed to repair the boot.
 
- My X system doesn't starts anymore. I tried configuring, reinstalling, reconfiguring... no luck. It seems that xdm doesn't find a running server and gives up.
 
        I've read threads in www.debianhelp.org talking about this, and found others with the same (or related, such as problems with xfs, but after upgrading anyway) problem in #debian.
 
        Is it common to have such serious problems when upgrading to woody, or it was just bad luck ?
        Is there any docs on troubleshooting the upgrade ?  I really don't know what else to try with my X system, other than downloading the full woody dist, building the CDs and reinstalling from scratches...  :((
 
Thanks in advance !!
 
Daniel
