Do you have local access to the system or a serial console? If yes, then just try it. If the kernel failed you can immediatelly go back to the old kernel. So you at least don't have a regression.
Hi there could you explain the 'immediatelly go back' a little? My Server is a Suse 7.2 to which I don't have local access, but i can boot my server remote with a rescue-debian installation, that can access the Harddisc. Do you think that would be usefull when reboot fails? if so : which files do i need to backup, so that i can restore the old kernel without a running suse on the box? Any help appreciated, since i'm not used to update kernels on remote servers and i'm a little bit in fear that the reboot will fail. thanks Sebastian
