Or at least appears to.

I end up with the system apparently locked at "Checking Battery State", though I can go to a tty.

However, when I did and attempted to restart the server, I no longer had access to any command prompt; no tty was reachable - interestingly, the music I was listening to was still going.

The upgrade works, but it's a pain to have this happen (yes, this has happened before). I notice that my internet connection briefly breaks during the installation process too.

Anyone know what the problem is?

Mmm, happened again today - after the sudo/ATI drivers update, but only when I decided to bring up the System Monitor.

I'm not entirely sure, but I thought the system was more stable than that!
