Linux Kernel Hickups in ServerPilot PoC

huntercophuntercop Member
edited November 2016 in Help

I would like to perform a ServerPilot PoC... but there have been tons of hickups along the way... well primarily just one. I tried to use it on a Hudson Valley Host VPS, but it appears that their kernel is out of date (2.3 or whatever). I also found out on OpenVZ, I don't have enough control over the kernel as it uses the host kernal. So I decided to buy a KVM from Hostodo (LEB deal). Sure I saw the mixed reviews.. but its a PoC and what is $15/year anyways!

Maybe I am doing something wrong.. I googled how to update the kernel but it does not appear to be working based on the all the attempts I made on my KVM VPS below... Please advise.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo reboot
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo reboot
sudo apt-get install linux-virtual
sudo reboot

Any help would be appreciated.

    tl;dr:

    sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-lts-xenial

  • Simply install ubuntu 16.04 on kvm server & most likely you'll end up having newer kernel.

    I ran the manual upgrade as the host did not have it... still version 16.04. They offered an option to mount 16.04... but still version 3.13.

    How about you skip the tl;dr and read the actual link?

  • You want to update linux-image. Hope that helps..

    That's what I am trying to figure out how to do :(
    Not the most technical person in the world, still learning.

  • apt-get update linux-image-amd64 (most likely)

  • @cheapwebdev if you're trying to use ServerPilot in an OpenVz box, your out of luck, you can find in their doc's that OpenVZ, LXC, Docker and Xen it's not supported.

    They only support full virtualization, get a KVM/Vmware based VPS.

    On Hostodo what OS are you using? Did you use a template or did you install from scratch?

    Hit me up on Skype tomorrow and I can work on converting your OpenVZ package with us into a KVM one :)

    Will do, already have a ticket in as well. Mike responded but his reply didn't help. I asked Mike to re-read the ticket details.
