Usually the Debian upgrade procedure is pretty straight forward, and my recent upgrade of a Poweredge 2600 from etch to lenny was no exception. Just change the sources and do an apt-get update; aptitude dist-upgrade and answer some questions along the way.
Occasionally there's a gotcha - and this one had an issue with our lvm based file system. Using the new kernel that comes with lenny (2.6.26), it failed to find the lvm and therefore wouldn't boot.
A little googling revealed a potential solution - add the option "rootdelay=9" to the kernel options for boot - and surely enough the machine was back to life.
