I would since the error message you get points to the specific filename /dev/fb0. But note the "29, 0" for /dev/fb, which means for a second one it would be "29, 32". If you feel brave delete the /dev/fb and create a new /dev/fb0. I wonder what would happen if you rename /dev/fb to /dev/fb0. Just be cautious and try whatever you're comfortable with. <...snip...> > I used a F11 network install CD to update. Probably most people do the same.
