Kernel is part of the O/S.
That leads me to have first impressions that your O/S may be a little corrupt and creating problems for the upgrade.
If you want a clean install and have everything backed up, you should be able to run the setup program treating the situation as if you were doing a clean install, and setup should prompt for an upgrade candidate when it needs it.
