Comments/Problems:
I upgraded from Lenny to Squeeze without getting any problem. But after the first reset of the system, system showed KDM properly. But, when I enter my user name and password, system resets itself. I also cannot pass console screens by pressing <ctrl + alt + Fx> keys at this state. If I power cycle the desktop PC and don't enter user name/pass at the KDM screen, then I can switch with <ctrl+alt+fx>. I tried to downgrade to lenny at this stage but nothing has changed. So; I had to install a clean Lenny system and I'm sorry I forgot to take "installation record" before the installation.
best regards
