I upgraded a site from DNN 7.3.2 to 8.0.4

After upgrading, every page "loads" but shows this message instead of modules:

 Module Load Warning One or more of the modules on this page did not load. This may be temporary. Please refresh the page (click F5 in most browsers). If the problem persists, please let the Site Administrator know. 

I can't login, because this shows on the login page.

So, I went into the database and set every page so that the default skin and container were set to Xcillion skin and container.

That changed nothing, even after recycling  the app pool.

 

So ... I'm looking for some suggestions as to what might be wrong.  The site otherwise runs properly, in that the skin is rendered correctly ...

Log4Net shows this after I set the logging level to All ...

there might also be an inconsistency in DNN metadata (packages - modules - moduledefinitions - modulecontrols)
