OpenVZ based Arch Linux VPS's offline at Virpus,ZoomVPS,BoostVPS and others?
| Posted by radix0, 01-11-2011, 06:39 PM |
Hello all,
I have a number of Arch Linux OpenVZ based VPS's with a good number of hosting providers. I do a regular weekly update (pacman -Syu cron job) on all my VPS's. The last update rendered all my VPS's unbootable on every host. It looks like the package update "linux-api-headers 2.6.36.2-1" does not play well with the kernels that have OpenVZ support baked in. Currently I have VPS offline from Virpus and ZoomVPS/BoostHosting amongst others. Virpus and Zoom have booth been rather unresponsive for a number of days now. Are there any other Arch users out there effect by this? Have any hosting providers found a fix? Any info would be great. |

We're currently spoofing 2.6.27 kernel versions (actually using 2.6.26) to keep our ArchLinux VPS clients online and in working order  |
