Yes, it should still work.

It looks like sysupgrade tried to automatically discover your kernel
config name, and determined it to be "AUTOUPDATE".  Is that correct?
You can run "config -x | head -1" to see.  You can explicitly set
the kernel to use as part of the auto-update with:

	sysupgrade -o KERNEL=GENERIC auto <releasedir>
