The OP stated the machine with the problem is a server. I would guess
that most *nix sysadmins run servers with only a VGA text console. GUI
compat issues shouldn't be reason to avoid upgrading in this case.


I'd agree - though it should (and I'd be surprised if it isn't) be possible to support larger drives by just upgrading the kernel without upgrading to Squeeze. I can think of several industry reasons for not upgrading - but I'm 'assuming' they wouldn't apply in an instance where change control and other policies allowed hardware to be purchased *without* checking for support first.

I suspect you mean "proper *nix sysadmins"... I come across "sysadmins" running servers from machines they use as desktops (they also backup to the same machine).
