Reproduce:
In 5.x move Admin menu to some other menu (like secondary menu), then upgrade
Admin Page becomes Empty

Temp Fix (but with issues)
Create a Menu called Administer. Then move the 5.x Menu try from secondary to Administer so that the path is Administer->Administer. (example path is Administer->Administer->Site Building)
Problem with this is that new Admin Items get dumped into navigation, and must be Manually moved (A very lengthy process).
Also Modules are duplicated, and the Navigation menu gets two sub sections (for example "Site Building") for everything!

Solution 2:
Move Administer -> Navigation
open Cpanel
Run SELECT * FROM `menu_links` WHERE menu_name = "navigation" ORDER BY `menu_links`.`menu_name`
Delete all

This Should work but is not tested...
Run DELETE * FROM `menu_links` WHERE menu_name = "navigation"

This will delete everything in navigation, a solution to this is to add
AND module = "system"

Then visit modules page, and the menu will be rebuilt... I will respond!

related issue (d7): #276751: Allow to alter/customize/add links in administration menu

I have cross referenced both issues. Hopefully someone can fix (d6)....

This problem does not exist in d5

Sorry, but #276751: Allow to alter/customize/add links in administration menu makes any fix for this obsolete. We'll ensure a proper upgrade path to 3.x instead. (though there is probably not much to do)

Dang, I just wrote a comment on the other asking you (Sun) to change the status of this one! By the time I wrote the comment and submitted it you already took care of it.

For me the issue is resolved properly with the fix I used. I was happy with my result, and filed the ticket to help improve quality! Thanks for handling this issue. Another one bites the dust!
