If your sidebar uses a wp-get-links(2) type call - yep, it messed me up too. The upgrade renamed all of your link Category IDs. What I did was bring up the blogroll page, hovered over each category for a link, looked in the url bar below to see what the new ID was, and then went into the sidebar and manually edited mine to the new ID number and all worked.

Not really a php pro but can you tell me what you did exactly

Ok, if you haven't already, go up with ftp and go to wp-content/themes/ and the folder with your theme and chmod the theme php files to 777. Now sign in to your admin panel and go to Presentation, and choose Theme Editor. Find the Sidebar.php file. Look for where it's currently saying
<h2>Links</h2>
<ul></ul>

Between the <ul> tags copy and put this:

<?php get_links_list(); ?>

so it looks like this:

<ul>
<?php get_links_list(); ?>
</ul>
Now scroll down and save it. Then go view your page. You may have to refresh it. That call is supported in the new release, and will list the Link Category along with the links you've assigned to it.
