Hi,
at this moment I am testing the Debian Installer on a SS5 (sun4m I thougt) cause I wanted a newer kernel then 2.2.20. but it isn't working very well
I am willing to test this upgrade-kernel to get a beter kernel and be able to do a woody->sarge upgrade
I think I will start with it right afther I finished my test with the debian installer and filled in a report
I hope I will be able to help :)
Greetings

Subject: RFC and status report: Kernel upgrades for woody->sarge upgrades
Hi all.
As many of you may know on some machines users will need to install a current kernel before they will be able to upgrade woody to sarge (or better: glibc of woody to glibc of sarge). I've tried to use the available information to provide the needed files for these kernel upgrades. To my knowledge the affected machines/architecures are currently hppa64, sparc sun4m (only some of them) and 80386.
Because of the pain to maintain a kernel backport over the lifetime of sarge we have decided to only offer backports of the needed tools (modutils, module-init-tools and initrd-tools) to use stock sarge kernels on woody.
It is planned to upload these files together with some documentation into a upgrade-kernel (or whatever else name the ftpmasters will prefer) directory in the archive.
I've prepared the necessary backports and some rudimentary documentation and put it online at http://higgs.djpig.de/upgrade/upgrade-kernel/
We now need people that - test the backports - read/comment on/improve the documentation
