I've never used preupgrade before....so I don't know exactly what it does... But, if it ends up installing the latest kernel and then booting to it....one could try deleting the initrd file (or moving it to a safe place where you can restore it if needed) for the active kernel since it isn't being used once you are up.... Its a thought....certainly would like to test it on a snapshoted VM. :-) -- Loni Anderson's hair should be LEGALIZED!! Guess Who! http://tinyurl.com/mc4xe7
