Upgraded from Ubuntu 10 to 14 and wedged machine

What did you run to upgrade it? What was the output? What happened next? What happens when you try to boot? What shows up on lish during a boot? Have you tried mounting the filesystem when booted into Rescue Mode? What does the filesystem look like?

thanks Akeri,

I ran do-release-upgrade from Lucid to LTS.

There was a problem with unauthenticated packages at first, and I allowed it to make it work.

When I try to boot, I'm no longer able to ssh in

I can boot up in rescue and mount FS, and retrieve my files. Otherwise, I don't know enough about linux recovery to see what's out of place.

My lish window looks like this:
