Thank you. 
mv /lib/modules/2.0.29  /lib/modules/2.0.29.old did it.
I think it ought to be in the README file, toghther with the other differences 
between the stable and unstable behaviour of the package.

BTW: Why does the kernel compilation number don't get updated in the uname 
command ?

	$ uname -a
	Linux rakefet 2.0.29 #1 Sat Mar 7 19:54:49 UTC 1998 i586 unknown
