>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.
