no, a 2.6.26 kernel is sufficient. the subject was how to get a
bootable *etch* system.

as i discovered earlier, there is a fatal bug in the 2.6.18 and even
the 2.6.24 kernel regarding megaraid controllers. pulling in a lenny
2.6.26 kernel solved everything. so, at this point, i have a fully
upgraded etch system, and monday's project will be to finish it off by
moving it up to lenny.
