Depending on your existing database size upgrading can take a substantial amount of time - especially the conversion of the order EAV to flat tables (1.4.2 I think).

However seeing that you are starting out from a potentially broken state (with myISAM you could have introduced integrity issues without even knowing it) I would suggest starting with a completely new install and then migrate your data (you might have to accept that some will be lost - but I think it is better to re-start with a correct database engine than perpetuating a previous mistake).

Navigation Menu Not Showing After Upgrading from Magento 1.4.1 to 1.9

After a lot of searching I found out that my template missed the reference to top.menu. So I copied catalog.xml from app/design/frontend/default/default/layout to design/frontend/default/mytemplate/layout

      <reference name="top.menu">
        <block type="catalog/navigation" name="catalog.topnav" template="catalog/navigation/top.phtml"/>
    </reference>

Do you have a backup before you upgrade?

If you do, I suggest that you roll back and attempt it again but this time try to do it step-by-step from 1.5 to 1.6 to 1.7 to 1.8 and finally to 1.9 instead of going directly from 1.5 to 1.9.

What I suggest is for you to create a staging store and attempt the upgrade from there.

You should also take multiple backups to make it easy to roll back if required.

After taking your backup, attempt the upgrade from 1.5 to 1.6 and check if everything works fine. If it does, continue step-by-step until you are at 1.9. If something broke in between, find out if there's any code changes which may affect your theme or extensions which are not compatible and attempt to correct them first before you continue.
