Bug#309614: Successful woody to sarge upgrade

My only major hiccup was not reading notes about going to a 2.6 kernel and thus taking a while to figure out I needed to 'apt-get install modules-init-tools' to have modules work with 2.6 kernels. Hello Athan, Thanks for your upgrade report! It is very useful to know that users can recover from problems like lack of disk space without too much hassle. For your second problem, I suggest the release notes including a documentation on how to upgrade to 2.6 kernels. I suspect lots of users will want to do that after upgrading to sarge.

Athan, Out of curiousity, were you using a Debian-provided kernel-image or a kernel you compiled yourself? -Roberto -- Roberto C.

My own from vanilla source, so the failure to make sure I was on modules-init-tools was entirely my own fault and nothing to do with package dependencies. -Ath -- - Athanasius = Athanasius(at)miggy.org / http://www.miggy.org/ Finger athan(at)fysh.org for PGP key And it's me who is my enemy.
