I have a laptop, an ASUS Eee PC 1005PE, that now has 2 gigs of memory.
The memory upgrade allowed me to do a package upgrade from a Hipster
BE of 2017-06-10 to yesterday's version of 2019-03-01 .  The upgrade
ran normally, with no error messages.

The reboot seemed normal.  It booted with the loader instead of GRUB,
but I'm used to that.  However, there was no login GUI, just the text
login.  How do I fix that problem?

Using the console login, I was able to activate the previous BE and
boot back into it.  This worked, except that GRUB had disappeared.  It
still booted with the loader, and ran the old BE.

Now I have another problem.  I had an entry in the GRUB menu to boot
the Windows FDKISK partion, but this too has disappeared.  How do I
boot the Windows partition now?
