After upgrading and immediate reboot, the kernel is unable to find some /dev/*something and suggests 'Control + D'. I found easier to just reboot with image 2.6.13.* and wait for another image to come. Hmm. I am surprised that not many have reported the same.Paul ScottApologies for a me-too, but I've just had the same experience, both here on my desktop and also on my laptop (Thinkpad R50e).
I will try going back to the previous kernel to eliminate that variable.
I thought it might have been something to do with needing udev, which I don't use. Rashly, I installed it on my laptop and the consequence was that it removed hotplug and now I shall have to reinstall everything in order to get my wireless connection to work (don't ask why, long story).
I will start a new thread on that. Paul
