The most important things you'll already find in
Documentation/Changes. This is a good point to start. I have done the
upgrade some days ago, and had to change only a few things (I'am
running RedHat 4.1).

* if you want to use modules, you have to upgrade to modutils-2.1.34
(this is mandatory, older modutils won't work with 2.1).

* the net-tools (ifconfig, route, arp et.al) need to be upgraded to v
1.33. Imho, this isn't critical, but older version of ifconfig will
present you wrong output.

* I also switched to libc-5.4.23 and binutils-2.8

The Changes file mentions some other packages, which should be
upgraded, and http://www.linuxhq.com is another good source of
information.
