Oke, it turned out to be the opened reports: I quit 2.2.9 with some reports opened, and installed 2.4.0 afterwards (after converting the config information). I started anew, with 2.2.9 not showing the reports, then did the whole installation procedure again, and everything worked.

Maybe something to mention in the upgrade document?
