Re: woody upgrade to testing & unstable causes "illegal instruction"

[Derrell.Lipman@UnwiredUniverse.com]

The kernel was the 2.4 kernel from 3.0.0 stable (bf24).  I don't believe that
unstable upgraded the kernel.  Initially, at least, I hadn't even rebooted and
things weren't working.  After rebooting, there was no change.
