I tried the upgrade and failed. Everything went wrong toward the end of the install apparently. Some init file got deleted since the kernel script couldn't find something it needed and the message that told me about it had the word "therefore" in it. When I rebooted the disk in order to remove the old kernel the disk detection happened but speakup will no longer speak. When I can get some help I'll find out what the message is on boot up and send that along. I'm using grml on another hard drive to send this information. I think I'll try install slackware on my 3rd hard drive before trying more kernel upgrads. That way I have an Ace in the hole.
