Slicehost

Earlier this week, we introduced a new kernel, 2.6.33.5, in the SliceManager. This kernel is currently available for all slices located in our STL-B, DFW, and ORD data centers and is now set as the default when creating any new slices.

In order to upgrade your pre-existing slice to the latest kernel available, we recommend that you follow the steps discussed in this previous blog post.

As always, please remember that this process does require a reboot of your slice.

Additionally, for those who wish to delve into the advanced practice of building kernel headers or compiling a module on their slice, we are pleased to be able to provide you with the following articles that we hope prove useful:

Downloading and using kernel source code
