Does "partially" mean "without reading the release notes"?

Read

http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/release-notes/ch-information.en.html

especially sections 5.2 (kernel upgrade and module-init-tools) and 5.3
(XFree86 to X.Org). Try to remember exactly what you did so far and
decide if you think that you can still fix these issues or if it will be
easier to install Etch "from scratch" (after backing up your $HOME).
