An update on this:
* I installed linux-image-2.6.15-1-alpha-generic via
$ apt-get install -t testing udev linux-image-2.6.15-1-alpha-generic
* I wondered why I was still booting the old kernel for a bit.
* I edited the symlinks in /boot to point to the new image (the
package edited the symlinks in /, which aren't used by my
aboot.conf)
* Booting 2.6.15 hangs just after reading the partition table
on /dev/sda :-(
I can investigate this more if desired, but probably not until next
weekend.
Cheers,
Phil
