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

### BEGIN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST
## lines between the AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST markers will be modified
## by the debian update-grub script except for the default options below

## DO NOT UNCOMMENT THEM, Just edit them to your needs

## ## Start Default Options ##
## default kernel options
## default kernel options for automagic boot options
## If you want special options for specific kernels use kopt_x_y_z

Rootserver kernel upgrading

April 10, 2008 in linux, operating systems | No comments

Last Update: 2nd November 2008

Connect to your server via ssh and then download the latest kernel version. Best practice is to look first via ftp for the correct file.

Type within your terminal:

ftp update.onlinehome-server.com
User: anonymous
Password: guest
cd local-updates/kernel/deb/
ls
exit

The filename of the latest version is: linux-image-2.6.27.4-20081028a_rootserver.1_amd64.deb
Let’s download this version:

wget ftp://update.onlinehome-server.com/local-updates/kernel/deb/linux-image-2.6.27.4-20081028a_rootserver.1_amd64.deb

Now we have to install the kernel by the following command.

dpkg --install linux-image-2.6.27.4-20081028a_rootserver.1_amd64.deb

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

ln -sf /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27.4-20081028a /boot/vmlinuz

Please replace vmlinuz-2.x.y.z by the release you want to add!

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-2.6.27.4-20081028a 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

### BEGIN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST
## lines between the AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST markers will be modified
## by the debian update-grub script except for the default options below

## DO NOT UNCOMMENT THEM, Just edit them to your needs

## ## Start Default Options ##
## default kernel options
## default kernel options for automagic boot options
## If you want special options for specific kernels use kopt_x_y_z
