I did back up everything so worst case I can work backwards.

Trying to get to my site brings up:
Warning: Unknown column 'serialized' in 'field list' query: SELECT data, created, headers, expire, serialized FROM cache WHERE cid = 'variables' in /home3/site/public_html/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 128

... and then a bunch of modify header errors related to the bootstrap file.

When I try going to /update.php I get a blank screen

Just to see what would happen I tried going to /install.php and get:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function _system_theme_data() in /home3/breadcom/public_html/includes/theme.inc on line 459

did you first disable all contrib modules? and remove/uninstall/delete any that have no D6 upgrade path?

I moved all D5 modules into a new directory labeled "modulesd5". I did not disable any modules prior to removing them. Maybe that's where I went wrong? Oh I did make sure to disable the update status module but that was it.
Thanks for the response.

ALL contrib modules should be disabled before you try to upgrade to D6. D5 modules and themes won't work with D6. Please read the upgrade.txt file included in the 6.14 download.

what happens with the data of all contributed modules ?

yes.

data is not removed from the database unless the uninstall routine is run which isn't run when a module is disabled only when the uninstall tab is used to "uninstall" a module.

Once I disabled the modules (I had to do it from the database) everything went smoothly. I missed that part on the checklist. Thanks for the help.
