Reboot Details

Hosts 10, 14 and 18 require an updated host kernel to allow booting of 2.6 based UML kernels. Along with that ability, the new kernel will also support SYSEMU, a performance enhancing feature of UML.

All Linodes will be shutdown properly, the host will be rebooted, and then your Linode will be automatically rebooted using the last used config profile. You do not need to issue reboots. Actual down-time for each Linode should be between 15-25 minutes.

Please allow an hour window for the reboot of your host to occur.

You may also follow along in our IRC chat room:

If you're affected by this, you'll be receiving an email from me shortly.

I'll post here when the reboot has been completed.

The reboot on host 10 fixed a lot of random segfault errors I was getting doing compiles on Gentoo. I couldn't get through any updates, and was thinking it was a weird library issue.

After the reboot, I haven't had *any* of the segfaults.

Thanks!
