Yeah, the post install of the newer kernel and modules all at once after
first going with the defaults has always worked prefectly for me when I've
done it. I did this in 10.1 and once I figured out 2.6 related stuff like
using /dev/uba1 instead of /dev/sda1 for my usb flash drive and taking the
hdd=ide-scsi out of lilo I was pretty much set and everything worked
nicely.
