It doesn't remove the 2.6.8 kernel. It does remove hotplug (if you
install udev), however, you will still have enough on your system to fix
it if there is something wrong with 2.6.15. That is unlikely anyway.
To be fully safe, apt-get --download-only any packages that will be
removed. Then you will be able to revert easily if 2.6.15 does not work
out and your network depends on hotplug or something.
