I'm pretty sure it has been reported more than once. Google brings up a ton of responses when one searches for the error produced when udev tries to upgrade and can't because of the old kernel. I don't recall what the error is, exactly, because I first ran into it several months ago. Note it is only encountered when trying to upgrade from "Lenny" to "Squeeze", not when loading "Squeeze" directly, but then "Squeeze" is still a testing distro. It hasn't been released, yet, and probably won't be for several more months. I would expect the problem to be resolved by the time "Squeeze" enters stable status. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
