Sarge spans roughly a dozen CDs. Probably what happened is you had insufficient packages on the first CD to upgrade everything, so the upgrade didn't finish cleanly. I would suggest using an online Debian source to finish your upgrade (just keep using dist-upgrade until it doesn't want to upgrade anything anymore). > I have to do a alt-ctrl-f1 to get back to command-line mode.

Perhaps the module isn't loaded, or there's a conflict between kernel and userland? > I noticed that I am still booting up in 2.6.3 kernel eventhough sarge is > supposed to use 2.6.8. Unless it is a Debian update to the same kernel version (i.e. -5 instead of -4), kernels are not normally automatically upgraded in Debian. You can setup this behavior by installing a kernel virtual package, such as kernel-image-2.6-386 (notice the lack of any minor revision number).
