If the same thing happened as did to me, the upgrade didn't work.

When upgrading from 2.1 to 4.0, iBCS didn't upgrade properly. Some error
message scrolled off the screen during the install. Since I don't really
care about iBCS I haven't worried about it. I get an error message every
time I reboot, but eventually I'll get around to de-installing iBCS (the
old version, I guess, since the new one didn't install).
