I have a server that is dedicated to doing backups via Amanda. I have recently purchased a Intel Pro 1000 Server adapter for this machine. To get this adapter working, I rolled my own 2.6.2 kernel, but this introduced more problems onto my Woody machine. The modutils package is deprecated for use with the 2.6 series kernels, as far as I can tell. It requires for modules the module-init-tools package that is not included in the standard woody set of packages. I downloaded the module-init-tools deb from packages.debian.org, only to find out that it requires a higher version of gcc than woody ships with. I tried forcing the package, but it wasn't kidding when it said that it depends on a higher rev of gcc. It didn't work.
My question is this. Is it "safe" to install sarge on a production server. I do not have "must run flawlessly without intervention" requirements on this server. It does take care of my backups, but I have a few spare DLT's lying around that I could use to get dumps of other servers if I was in an emergency situation. I have been interested in playing with the new sarge installer and I thought this would be a good opportunity if need be. Any suggestions? Does sarge run "fairly" stable?
