Go ahead and upgrade, but make sure that you keep a copy of the kernel,
symbol tables, initrd and modules somewhere safe (like a pen drive).
Also make sure you don't reformat your partitions when you upgrade.  The
kernel will still be available, but you'll have to manually edit the
grub configuration to get at it after the update.
