Kernel is 2.6.35.3.

This shouldn't be a problem.

Ok, there I don't know if I have a problem. A small info on the server
that I wan't to update. It's a Database server with 
MySQL 5.1.45, PostgreSQL 9.1.8, and the most problematic one is ArcSDE
10.1 DB connector which has some dependant
X11 libraries. I don't know how it will react with upgraded kernel
headers, Gawk, e2fs and especially udev. And for udev I also dread if
the 
bonding of 4 network cards and the Adaptec RAID adapter will have
problems. 
As I said I can turn off the machine only for 3 hrs and that is the
complete fallout that it can have for this year. So I would go with less
if I can. The DB backup will take me 20mins, the filesystem adaptation
another 15min, and then I have 2:25hrs for problems. I would like to
have no problems. :) This machine has been offline for 2hrs in summary
for the past 4yrs.  I even thought to put another machine in its place
until I finish the compilation but unfortunatly I don't have another
machine which could cope with the load.

Thanks, will check it. And thank you for your answer.
