It was my understanding that "safe-upgrade" was the equivalent of
"upgrade".  At least when I typed aptitude upgrade it responded that I
should be using "safe-upgrade".  "Dist-upgrade" allows you to update the
kernel, otherwise it sits as a set of packages that aren't included.

Well, it has been since Saturday or Sunday, I believe.  And if no one else
has the symptoms after three or four days, it might not be addressed.  Or it
might.

I just boot to the older kernel until I can get the newer one working.

Thanks.
