You didn't metioned what kind of upgrade it was. I think the load is so
hight because Cobalt upgrade 
traing too restart some of your service ( like dns or sandmail ) and
that process failed so lcd-swrite newer
stop to write some of the comunicates on that very nice looking LCD
panel. 

Tray to determine what proces call lcd-swrite using ps aux |grep
lcd-swrite and looks for PPID (parent pid)
if it's higher than 1 restart process that have this value (PPID of
lcd-swrite) of PID. Other wise you should restart 
whole RAQ.
