You still need to patch your kernel. But you have to know that a lot

of external modules still don't support some of the changes that

appeared in 2.6.19 (the death of config.h for instance). My advice if

you want an upgrade is to go for a 2.6.18 for at least a month or so

before switching to 2.6.19, or just keep your 2.6.16 if you have no

urgency in an upgrade at the moment.
