I had no problems as such but I should have done an apt-get install
udev before running apt-get update but did it without any problems
after the initial upgrade was done and that pulled in an even newer
kernel plus other stuff.
Re Michael's Bitfolk tips I was asked if I wanted to install
grub2, so be sure to say no for a Bitfolk install. The other specific
things Michael mentions should be checked out to be on the safeside.
As for my Bitfolk VPS I think I need to wait before upgrading as I am
using a package (gallery2) from sid and even though it is marked
'hold' I don't want to risk anything going wrong as a 'Gallery' is an
essential part of my website.
I lost my Gallery during a Lenny update a few months back and had
unhappy users as a result! I had to use the repair facility in
gallery2 to get it back, a corrupted php file I think it was!
I presume that eventually gallery2 (or even gallery3) will migrate to
squeeze and that will be the time for me to upgrade.

I'm going to have a go at this soon, any
chance someone who
succeeds can write it up?
My upgrade is now finished and all working thanks to Andy.
Don't really have time just now to write up a wiki, but basically I
followed the upgrade section in the release notes.
