Same as others above -- I had the memory allocation error in DistUpgradeViewKDE.py, shortly after the screen that asks about removing packages. However, when I tried to reboot, grub was hosed up.

In my case, the problem was that the grub device names had changed. Previously in grub menu.lst I had root (hd1,0), which would no longer boot. I changed it to root (hd0,0) and then it booted OK. I have an ide disk in place, and a scsi -- and I wanted to boot off the scsi. Now, (after booting), the IDE drive shows up as /dev/sda, and the first scsi disk has shifted to /dev/sdb... ? However, the order is still the same, so I'm not sure why the grub change was needed.
