I'm running Debian on virtual server (paid hosting). When my virtual server was setup, I choose Debian 8 as my OS.
Today I upgraded Debian to version 9, everything went quite smooth, except that after reboot my kernel is still 2.6:
Code: Select all
root@debian:~# cat /etc/debian_version
9.1
root@debian:~# uname -r
2.6.32-042stab123.9
Code: Select all
root@debian:~# apt-cache search linux-image

linux-image-rt-amd64 - Linux for 64-bit PCs (meta-package), PREEMPT_RT
linux-image-rt-amd64-dbg - Debugging symbols for Linux rt-amd64 configuration (meta-package)
Then I realised, that kernel I installed is AMD, and my virtual server is on Xeon.
Webmin shows:
Code: Select all
Kernel and CPU Linux 2.6.32-042stab123.9 on x86_64
Processor information Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630 v3 @ 2.40GHz, 4 cores
I suppose I should not use backports, I'd like to stay on "stable" thread.
As it's virtual server, I have no possibility to see console screen while it boots, only after boot I can connect via SSH.
Thanks,
