>POSSIBLE UPGRADE PROBLEMS
>----------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
>*xorg ABI change
>- With SL6.4 there is a change in the X.org ABI for the video
> drivers. This change will require compatible drivers. Anyone
> using the drivers shipped with SL should have no problems. Anyone
> using drivers from an external source - such as nVidia, ATI, or
> ELRepo should ensure a compatible driver is loaded. Please ensure
> you are on the most recent compatible driver before updating the
> system.
>
> For example, nVidia 173.14.36, 304.64, and 310.32 should be
> compatible earlier versions may not be.
>
> You can find these as ELRepo packages nvidia-x11-drv-173,
> nvidia-x11-drv-304, and nvidia-x11-drv.
>
>
>*OpenAFS
>- The Alpha/Beta does not feature working OpenAFS packages.
> We expect to resolve this shortly.
