I've just updated a quite complex site from D5 to D6. To create the
new database the update process described in the tutorials at
drupal.org transfers all the content from the D5 installation to the
D6 installation. CCK content gets transfered without any issue, views
instead have to be converted from version 1 to version 2. In the new
D6 site the old views can be found at the Views 2 UI at "Tools", under
"Convert". There you can convert your Views 1 to Views 2, some of the
them need readjustment after the conversion, but I got them all
converted. The panels have also to be rebuilt if you use panels. 

I got though the issue described in http://drupal.org/node/321154, and
I solved it using one of the solutions described there.
