it is well-known by sysadmins that there are problems with kernel updates. It seems that the first reboot without power-off may cause sometimes problems. We had Kernel panic after some days, after such a update without power-off (Suse 9.1).
Could I get some references on this "well-known" phenomenon?

Aside from personal experience from years of hardware/software compatibility testing?
Yes, aside from that. Because this sounds an awful lot like superstition, so I'm looking for some hard facts and documented empirical data, not just assumptions and anecdotes. Absent such facts, I'm rather doubtful that this effect is real. And using phrases like "Can you say blah-blah-blah," does not get high marks with me. If your hardware exceeds SCSI specs, then powering down won't bring it into spec.
