Hello, I have a webserver and a desktop machine both running LM 8.0. I've been reading about some of the kernel problems before 2.4.12, and I'm thinking about upgrading.
I recently tried to build the 2.4.13 kernel on my desktop machine, and when I rebooted a number of services (such as Apache) no longer worked. I'm sure I can make this work eventually, but the problem is this: My server is off-site, and I have no direct physical access to it. If the new kernel doesn't boot cleanly, it could be a matter of days before I get the machine and can test and fix it. The server is running the stock 2.4.7-12 kernel, and at one point when I was configuring it, I had problems with the IDE drivers for the High Point 370 chipset. The stock kernel was fine, so I stayed with that. My question is whether there is a reasonably safe way to remotely upgrade to a newer kernel, perhaps via an RPM, or should I stick with the ways things are? Any advice is appreciated.
