I am doing that with no trouble, and have a 2.6.12 kernel. Be sure once you get a new system up that you install packages called "apt-listbugs" and "apt-listchanges" which will alert you during an upgrade if you are headed for trouble. No guarantee, of course, Sid is risky they say, but you can at least decline to proceed with an upgrade if something you are upgrading has known bugs. I began with Sarge when it was "testing" and moved to Sid before Sarge went "stable", and have managed to avoid serious problems with the help of those two packages.
