That's new to me; perhaps the updated kernel detects devices in a different order, so that kudzu thinks they're all new? This wouldn't have been a problem before since the kernel in the boot image would have been the same as the freshly installed one. You could try building fresh boot images too, but unfortunately I can't offer any advice on how to do that. As an experiment, you could try updating everything but the kernel. (I.e. start from a fresh tree from the DVD image, pull down the updates and delete the new kernel packages. Then run the update and try an install.) - J<
