Does the system boot at all?
Well, it can start the services, but after starting the gdm, the
system gets frozen and no graphical interface is presented.
Can it find /dev/hda or is only /dev/hda6 missing?
It can mount the /dev/hda5 (mount point is / directory), because when
I enter to "Give root password for maintenance", I can see that
/dev/hda5 is mounted using the "mount" command, but under /dev there
is no hda.
What did you upgrade *from*?
From ftp.debian.org using testing version.

Is "common sense" really valid?
For example, it is "common sense" to white-power racists that
whites are superior to blacks, and that those with brown skins
are mud people.
However, that "common sense" is obviously wrong.
