Aw, damn, my memory is too short! Thanks for reminding me of those! The kernel crash was IPF-related, and in my test back then I was testing on an i386 machine, which at the time did not, IIRC (and we know what that might mean), was not running IPF. Anyway, the two machines I'm upgrading do need to run IPF, at least until they are running a new OS with new pkgs. I'm beginning to think the only way to avoid that rabbit hole in order to get these upgrades done in the next week will be to shut them down and do the upgrades by mounting their filesystems in their dom0s. -- Greg A.
