I am sorry about that. Right now, it looks very much like it is

There are the usual low-numbered jobs which appear
normal. I have used fmt to get the output to fit. There are no
"Defunct" or zombies. Here is what appears to be related to the
upgrade attempt:

That's where it stands now.

No and top confirms this.

Not a one and the system right now even reports 0.00
load.

I don't have dmesg output handy

Yes.

I am not 100% sure of anything right now except that syslog
tried to restart and shows the following error:
