Upgrading drupal 5.21 to 6.15 I have come accross an error on one of the system updates.
I've got a phantom error which is appearing on system update #6021, which appears to be restructuring the database to deal with menus. The update script won't show me any actual errors (besides the fact that it didn't work). Watchdog table isn't being written to.
I have ~850 rows (from drupal 5) in the menu table. I had read that since this function has a limit of 50, increasing this would fix the problem - which it didn't.

I would appreciate some help on how to diagnose this problem, or perhaps fix it with queries.

Cheers.

I'm experiencing what I think is the same problem with the same versions. I applied the patch at http://drupal.org/node/196578 but it hasn't helped.

I finally got past update 6021, but only after dropping the menu table from my D5 database and starting fresh with update.php. Definitely NOT ideal. I guess I'll have rebuild my menus by hand.

Got to the same error and couldn't proceed, converting from 5.23 to drupal 6.20. If you drop the table you get a bunch of errors but can proceed. If you empty the table you proceed without errors. Unfortunately In either you have to manually add back your menus.
