Kernel 2.6.25.1 For 1and1 XXL Server

May 15, 2008 in linux, operating systems | No comments

Alexander Kasper from Hockwald-ITcompiled a 2.6.25.1 Kernel for 1&1 AMD64-Bit Server.

After downloading (i.e. to /tmp/ folder), you can install your brand new kernel with the following command:
Now we have to install the kernel by the following command.

dpkg --install linux-image-26251_custom10002052008_amd64.deb

Please check /boot/grub/menu.lst for the correct settings.

Either you check the pointer of vmlinuz to your new kernel in /boot/

ln -sf /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.25.1 /boot/vmlinuz

or you change /boot/grub/menu.lst accordingly. For the above mentioned kernel it has to look somehow like this:

serial –unit=0 –speed=57600
terminal –timeout=10 serial console

default=0
timeout=5

title linux with serial console
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.25.1 ro root=/dev/md1 console=tty0 console=ttyS0,57600

title linux.old
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz.old ro root=/dev/md1 console=tty0 console=ttyS0,57600
