Hi
The recent (today and 24.03.06) kernel upgrade leaves a bit confused.
The version sarge was released with is kernel-image-2.4.27-2-XXX, the
latest security packages are released for kernel-image-2.4.27-3-XXX.
What is the rational behind this name change, that breaks the
automatic upgrade path?
The kernel ABI changed, so the change was needed. Install the
kernel-image-2.4-686 (or whatever you need) package.

(Especialy non expert users, which barely manage to do an apt-get
update & apt-get upgrade will not do this transition and are left
with an unsecure kernel. And also in larger installations (as in my
case) it causes quite some extra work.)
Do I have to install the kernel-image-2.4.27-3-XXX to profit from the
security support? That leaves me with the problem that the nvidia
yes
modules are only released for kernel-image-2.4.27-2-XXX
(kernel-image-2.4.27-2-686-smp). Has this packages been excluded from
the upgrade (2->3) because the package is in non-free?
Probably. However, it's quite trivial to build your own:
apt-get install module-assistant nvidia-source
m-a prepare
m-a a-i nvidia
