Buh?  The upgrade should check the partition types as
according to fdisk, right?  It shouldn't even look at hda1.
You might check in fdisk and make sure that all the partition
types are right, and in /etc/fstab to make sure the mount
points are all correct, but if this stuff were wrong,
I would expect your non-upgraded 6.0 to not work right either.
