upgrade of etch beta to current level
First apt-get update; apt-get upgrade; apt-get linux-image-2.6.18-amd not 
aptitude apt-get.  I made your mistake earlier and couldn't get beyond 
2.6.08 and you should not ever get offers to delete running kernels if you 
do this right.  I did get a message that modules for my new kernel were 
being deleted but upon reboot found the message to have been eroneous.
