Sounds like you lost your serial port driver or similar in the upgrade.
Grab the howto and check that you have the correct modules
loaded/installed in the kernel.

Also the "and many other things" might mean that something uninstalled
your modem software (unlikely in debian).  Go back through and reinstall
everything. Without logs or other info that's the best we can do for
you.
