I am getting following error while upgrading SQL Server 2005 to SQL 2008.
Wait on the Database Engine Recovery handle failed. Check the SQL Server error log for potential causes.
Any idea ?

I have seen this issue before. Have you ever renamed the SA account? The Upgrade looks for SA account. If it cant find it, it will throw the error.

Did you check the error log to see what is the error message?
