I wonder if it wouldn't be better to advise against doing that. Maybe we should advise users to upgrade to a Sarge 2.4 kernel first, verify that their system is stable and important application function as expected and then upgrade to a 2.6 kernel later. That would improve to chances to troubleshoot any problems from the kernel upgrade and eliminate distribution upgrade problems as possible cause. > If you are upgrading from a 2.4 to a 2.6 kernel, before rebooting: > > 1) You must install modules-init-tools. Why? AFAIK module-init-tools is pulled in automatically because of dependencies. (Except if users compile their own kernel from 2.6 kernel-source packages.) > 2) If you have an LVM1 partition, you must install the 'lvm2' package. Do you have further information on this? Also: - If they have gnome installed (or more general: if udev is installed), switching to 2.6 will activate udev. - Be aware of changes in input layer which may require reconfiguration of keyboard (both for console and X) and mouse (for X). - Renamed modules; possibility of renamed devices (hda->sda). > Also I think you should remove section 4.1.4: > - 4.1.4 Special considerations for SSH users this change was made in > woody, not sarge. Yes, looks you're right. Removed. Thanks. Cheers, FJP
