To the extent the system fails to boot with the 2.6 kernel ;) Typically installing a kernel, if you use GRUB as your boot loader, will leave the earlier kernel settings for booting. So the worst that is likely is boot, crash (unable to find root), boot choose 2.4, uninstall 2.6 kernel image package (so it isn't booted from when you are away). Of course it adds great confidence, if you already know that you have a Live CD, or recovery disk that does mount the root filesystem -- just in case. I think Debian kernels have the legacy megaraid driver built in, but I guess if it boots into 2.6 you'll know that for sure. > /usr/sbin/mkinitrd: add_modules_dep_2_5: modprobe failed > FATAL: Module megaraid2 not found. > WARNING: This failure MAY indicate that your kernel will not boot! > but it can also be triggered by needed modules being compiled into > the kernel. > -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
