Because the -26 kernel, which is part of 6.06.1, is either unbootable
or at least causes problems with sound, which make it "impossible"
to login. At least that might happen, if you use VIA hardware and the
-386 or -686 kernel. With -k7, you're on the safe side.

Right. And then there's the beast called "reality" without all
those "should's" :)
