After upgrading to Drupal7 from D6.20, I get a surprize every time :-)

This time, I've just realized that if I want to edit a node (article, page, blog...) the content field is empty. The node content is displayed on the website, though, in the View mode.

If I make a new node, I can edit it, the content is still there.

Can you help me?

I just had the same issue and after a couple of hours i finally figured it out. It's the migration algorithm of cck. Now, fixing this a little messy:

1. Open your database with phpmyadmin
2. make a backup just in case
3. go to table field_data_field_something
4. look at the language column of the imported and new rows (create a new node with that field if you have only old ones). the imported ones will have a value of 'und' whereas new ones will have your language code

the next two steps need to be done for every single field_data_field_ table

5. delete duplicates in each table (when you edit a node with 'blank' fields they get stored in new rows)
6. change language value of each row to the one you get when creating new nodes. in my case it was 'pl' for polish
7. clear cache (important, could have saved quite some time if i had thought of that sooner)
8. everything should be fine now
