-	Generally speaking, SSU updates should be relatively pain-free, but there are a few issues to watch out for. If you have an aftermarket kernel or ~~intifs~~ installed (like the rotation support kernel or [[Booting_from_a_flash_card#Install_bootmenu\|fanoush's bootmenu]]) and a kernel or initfs upgrade is pushed, they will be overwritten and you'll need to wait for your kernel or the bootmenu to be updated to reinstall them.	+	Generally speaking, SSU updates should be relatively pain-free, but there are a few issues to watch out for.
