Re: Is a kernel upgrade necessary ?

[David Whelan]

Nicolas,

- is it worth an upgrade ?
- is it as simple as an apt-get install kernel-image-xxx ?
    
I've just done almost exactly the same thing as you are contemplating 
(upgraded to sarge, then from 2.2.20idepci to 2.6.8-3-386). I used 
aptitude to install the new kernel and seemingly everything went well, 
but when I rebooted, it gets to the boot message "Starting periodic 
command scheduler: cron" and then it hangs. I am trying to figure this 
one out right now. My advice is to make absolutely sure you create a 
boot disk using your old 2.2.20, otherwise you might be screwed; come to 
think of it, if the same thing happens to you, you might be screwed 
anyway as you're doing things remotely.
Regards,
Dave Whelan.
