+ <para>The Linux kernel is updated relatively often, many times due to
+ discoveries of security vulnerabilities. The latest available
+ 2.6.16.x kernel version should be used, unless the errata page says
+ otherwise. Do not use version 2.6.17 or later kernels due to
+ potential incompatibilites of the bootscripts.</para>
