The evidence seems to point in one direction. :) One box here runs ~amd64, whose kernel has just now been upgraded to 6.0.8. I'll boot it in a few minutes, but I'm not expecting problems: it's been through the whole 6 series so far with no difficulty - even for me! I can't remember any difficulty going from the 5 series to 6.0.0 either, even though it was a .0 version, which we all know is generally to be suspected. -- Regards, Peter.
