I would highly recommend that you not try to migrate RC4 to RC5.  I have 
an open ticket in the bugtracker.  The install with migration fails when 
it starts phase 2, and I have not figured out how to proceed.  My RC4 is 
setting there waiting for advice.

You really want ACPI if you want to run the dual core.

I don't have any PCMCIA devices that I use anymore either.  However, I 
did install it.

Don't install Uniaud unless you want to work your way out of the trap. 
Let multimedia install and then install Uniaud with the patched modules 
after you get everything else running.
