Josip,
Thanks for the note.
I tried to follow the CLI based procedure to upgrade 8.04 to 10.04. This
procedure was of course meant for upgrading a workstation/server not a
VE/VPS. As an experiment, I tried the following on a test 8.04-LTS VE:
#sudo apt-get install update-manager-core
#sudo nano /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades
set Prompt=lts
#sudo do-release-upgrade -d
The upgrade process produced some error such as:
Setting up makedev (2.3.1-89ubuntu1) ...
/sbin/MAKEDEV: warning: can't read /proc/devices
/sbin/MAKEDEV: warning: can't read /proc/devices
/sbin/MAKEDEV: warning: can't read /proc/devices
and
Setting up klogd (1.5-5ubuntu4) ...
Installing new version of config file /etc/init.d/klogd ...
* Stopping kernel log daemon...
* Starting kernel log daemon...
[ fail]
And then when I attempt to SSH in...
#vzctl enter 1041
enter into VE 1041 failed
Unable to open pty: No such file or directory
I tried to apply this fix to this error:
# vzctl exec 1041 /sbin/MAKEDEV tty
/sbin/MAKEDEV: warning: can't read /proc/devices
And from: http://forum.openvz.org/index.php?t=msg&goto=34305
I tried this fix:
#vzctl exec 1041 'dpkg --force-depends --purge udev'
#vzctl exec 1041 update-rc.d -f udev remove
#vzctl restart 1041
#vzctl enter 1041
enter into VE 1041 failed
Unable to open pty: No such file or directory
No other fixes I found can seem to revive this VE. And it seems like
migrating/copying the data from the 8.04 VE's to 10.04 VE's is a more
straight-forward means of upgrading...
So, this is what I meant when I asked if there was a definitive,
recommended procedure to upgrade an 8.04 VE to a 10.04 VE.

Question: I'd like to upgrade the production 8.04 VE's to 10.04.
Can this be done?
I tried searching but couldn't find a definitive (recommended) procedure
for performing a "distribution upgrade" to production VE's.
Is there such a procedure?
Do you have any reason to avoid simply following the Ubuntu upgrade
procedures?
