Updated: new target database for gradual migration

Today, I ran it again with other site collections in dev environment.  

I am able to create a new target database and the migration completed with a successful message. However, when I    navigate to the site, "Invalid list template" error occurs. I can see that the target database has data in it and I can navigate to the site settings page as well.

Comparing the upgrade log file shows the following towards the end of migration, after it finishes copied data from temp database to the target database:

[SPContentDatabaseSequence] [DEBUG] [3/8/2008 1:45:54 PM]: Missing Version, Id = 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000.
[SPManager] [DEBUG] [3/8/2008 1:45:54 PM]: CanUpgrade [SPContentDatabase Name=SPS_PROD_Site_Pair2 Parent=SPDatabaseServiceInstance] returned: False.
[SPManager] [DEBUG] [3/8/2008 1:45:54 PM]: Cannot upgrade [SPContentDatabase Name=SPS_PROD_Site_Pair2 Parent=SPDatabaseServiceInstance].

The log suggests it couldn't find the version for id = 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000. The target database has a Versions table but it is blank.
