Suggestion for Sarge Release Notes



Hi Docs

Great jobs with Sarge. Really impressed.

I thought I would suggest you put an additional note in section 4.6 of the
release notes for upgrading from woody.

http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html#s-nownownow

Basically, the problem I ran into (several times) was that you need to
rerun lilo if you don't upgrade the kernel. Several machines I run have
custom kernels so I could directly download them through apt. The problem
is that if you don't rerun lilo (or install a new kernel which does) the
machine will not boot. In my case I solved this by booting into a rescue
system and then running lilo.

A note in section 4.6 which says if you don't install a new kernel you
need to run lilo would help others in the future I suspect.

Many Thanks

Rohan
