It is not recommanded to upgrade from 3.x to 4.8.1 in one precess.  Erik have post a nice Blog about a upgrade from a 3.x version, you can found it here http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Community/Blogs/tabid/825/EntryID/1759/Default.aspx

Have you change the ASP.Net Version on your server on upgrade?  Please note, before you re-try upgrating you must restore your database and checking your upgrade files, also check the web.config ( and check the machineKeys!).

I did the machine keys, and ASP.NET 2.0 on all the domains. I guess I'll try a 4.5 upgrade first.
