Linux install hangs hard on kernel load

[Blake Barnett]

Storm is based on Debian, and if you change your /etc/apt/sources.list
to Debian mirrors, you can simply do an 'apt-get update && apt-get -u
dist-upgrade'  (-u lists what's going to get upgraded).  

Don't know if it will upgrade smoothly, but theoretically it should.

Good luck!
