Hi, I have an ubuntu 6.06 LTS server installation with linux-vserver ( linux-image-2.6.15-26-amd64-k8 ) and 3 vservers (Debian) installed. I did not compile the kernel myself, i've used apt-get. When i want to upgrade i get the following: <pre> The following packages have been kept back: linux-image-amd64-server The following packages will be upgraded: base-files bind9-host dnsutils gnupg libbind9-0 libdns21 libisc11 libisccc0 libisccfg1 libkrb53 liblwres9 libssl0.9.8 linux-amd64-server linux-image-2.6.15-26-amd64-k8 login openssl passwd ubuntu-minimal ubuntu-standard util-vserver </pre> Is it safe to upgrade? I see there is a kernel file. I don't want my 3 vservers to have downtime. Or minimal downtime. Please help, thank you. If you need more information, please ask.
It's always a trial and error thing... If you want to go sure, make an image of your system that you can restore if something goes wrong: http://www.howtoforge.com/howto_linux_systemimager http://www.howtoforge.com/dedicated_server_backup_restore_systemimager
Thank you for your reply. I've also asked in the ubuntu forum. They say it's safe by the looks of it. I hope so... http://ubuntuforums.org/newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&p=1478446
