For a complete set of required programs, see the kernel documentation, especially the "Changes" file. Also, a few modules might have changes names, so look for messages about that. Unless you're running some exotic hardware that is not enabled in the default kernel images (like some RAID controllers), you should at least be able to get to a console and sort the remaining issues out from there. -- Got Backup?
