Doing the dist-upgrade from sarge to etch installs udev and replaces your kernel. Basically, you *have* to reboot at some point. It will, of course, let you continue running with no installable modules that match your kernel, and you might get away with it for a while. But it's pretty iffy. I don't want to destabilize my router, and there's no good reason to at this point.
