Re: [Users] Issues with kernel upgrade on Debian Wheezy

[Guido Haase]

Hi Axton,

> Any guidance to the contrary would be appreciated.

meanwhile I solved it my onw way. May be, the following description will fit
for you too - I tested it on three hosts and it works fine on all of them.

Hopefully, I'm 'in line' now again so new OpenVZ kernel updates will work

like before when using apt-get for updating them ;-)

~# dpkg -l | grep openvz

   Note: Sadly, apt-get doesn't see any new OpenVZ kernel(s), although they are

         available in the repository.

         Therefor update to new kernel manually be exactly telling apt-get what

         to install:

~# apt-get install linux-image-2.6.32-openvz-042stab088.4-amd64

   => installs new kernel image package: linux-image-2.6.32-openvz-042stab088.4-amd64_1_amd64.deb

~# apt-get remove --purge linux-image-openvz-amd64

   => removes old kernel meta package: linux-image-openvz-amd64_042+1_amd64.deb

~# apt-get install linux-image-openvz-amd64

   => installs new kernel meta package: linux-image-openvz-amd64_042stab088.4_amd64.deb

~# dpkg -l | grep openvz

~# reboot       (hint: check grub.cfg before restarting)

~# uname -r

   2.6.32-openvz-042stab088.4-amd64
