Should be fun.
Duplicating the remote setup to a local/virtual machine and giving the upgrade a shot before tinkering with the live server won't hurt. ;)
A killer on remote machines can be when the new kernel detects your NIC cards in a different order and either skips initialization or assigns the wrong IP's. It may be hard to test that unless you have indentical hardware. If you have remote support you may be able to talk someone through the fix anyway.
isnt that why you use hwaddr in your network scripts ?
