Kernel Upgrade, Kernels Available

     We will be performing kernel upgrades tonight between 11pm and midnight.  All machines will be rebooted at some point during that interval.

     The kernels we use are the most recent upstream kernels compiled for tickless operation.  They are available to you at:

     https://www.eskimo.com/kernel or ftp://pub/kernel

     They are available in both .deb packages and .rpm packages.  The config files are there should you care to see how I’ve configured them or in case you don’t trust me, want these features but prefer to build yourself.

     All eskimo services will be interrupted during this interval.  This includes https://friendica.eskimo.com/, https://hubzilla.eskimo.com/ and https://nextcloud.eskimo.com/.

Kernel Upgrades Completed

     All the machines had finished booting by around 11:20PM however there were several that did not boot correctly and required manual intervention to bring them back up fully and there were some NFS mounts that did not mount automatically.  Everything was resolved by midnight.
