Following on from previous post. During the upgrade I got to that screen
before you see the sysinstal menu where you can reconfig the Kernel and I
took the 'Skip Kernel Config' option - I wasn't really sure what the
right thing to do was but I was guessing that the upgrade process would
'learn' what it needed to from the previous setup. 

Was this the wrong thing to do ? 

Should I have dived in and done the whole kernel config thing even though
the machine had previously been running 4.4 ?

Thanks

Richard Shea.
