Upgrading Your Current System To Kernel 2.6

An anonymous reader writes "This white paper provides an overview of the process of moving an existing desktop system to the 2.6 kernel. It will highlight other software requirements imposed by the new kernel and administrative changes that you must make when migrating an existing system to the 2.6 kernel. It supplements previous whitepapers in the same series about Customizing the 2.6 kernel [Slashdot discussion here(1)] and porting drivers to the 2.6 kernel [Slashdot discussion here(2)] to the 2.6 kernel."

Don't try to switch a 2.4 sytem to the 2.6 kernel. Or vice versa for that matter. If you want 2.6, build the rest of the system fresh. Unless you are uber l33t you wont get everything to work perfectly. But if you start from scratch getting everything to work in 2.6 is cake.
