I would recommend never upgrading between major distros like that.. esp. with 
major kernel rev changes.  Going from lilo->Grub, 2.4->2.6, /etc/modules.conf 
->modprobe.conf.. too many major changes (and potential problems) to mess 
with.

Suggestion..  Keep a separate /home partition so that you can keep all of your 
"stuff" in place when doing major reinstalls (instead of in place upgrades).
