I had this a few hours ago. With me it was a problem with the
/etc/grub.conf entry created for the upgrade. There was a space
missing after the '..cfg' in the kernel line.

I booted my old kernel, inserted the space in /etc/grub.conf and
rebooted into the upgrade to Goddard. The upgrade then worked without
me doing anything else.
