Severity: normal

I performed the upgrade from etch to lenny of course on the console and not in 
a xterm. Nevertheless, the screen got blank during the upgrade after the 
restart of kdm. I attribute that to the old version of the nvidia graphics 
driver, I used which etch. No console was usable. I just waited until the hdd 
led did no longer indicate any activity and restarted via magic system 
request and continued the upgrade after the reboot. Therefore, I suggest that 
a section is added that recommends to remove any proprietary graphics module 
from the kernel before initiating the update.

Thanks a lot, lenny is great!

Robin
