I fought my way through the

I fought my way through the upgrade from Drupal 5.19 to 5.20, to 6.14, yesterday:

1. Re-install all previously-installed modules and then uninstall them via Drupal interface.

2. Upgrade from Drupal 5.19 to 5.20 -- no errors or warnings; site seemed okay.

3. Upgrade from Drupal 5.20 to 6.14, study errors and warnings, restore back to Drupal 5.20, verify, and then use mysql client to drop problematic tables:

cache_block
cache_form
menu_router
menu_links
menu_custom
upload
actions_old_contrib
actions_aid
search_node_links

4. Upgrade to Drupal 6.14 -- no errors or warnings; site seems okay:
