kernel upgrades

I must have done a hundred of them.. of course the first time I do one remotely the machine fails to boot... and it's at a data center.. couple hours drive away..

I thought Friday the 13th was last week? Am I stuck in a time warp?

Remind me to tell you about the time that I tried to remotely change the network config of a remote machine. You can guess how well my ifconfig eth0 down worked out. It must have been a nanosecond after I hit the damned enter key that I realized what I had just done.

My first time writing an ipchains firewall.. .

"deny all"


Took me about 2 seconds after running the script to realize "d'oh!" :)

I'd recommend taking a look at Steve's Blog, especially the entry about Wake-up on LAN. Won't help in all situations, but would be useful in some of them...

If the box is not booting due to kernel issues.. wake on lan is not going to help unless it can also change the default grub option and boot to the old kernel..

Anyway, the issue turned out to be something else.. I'll write about it when I get home tonight.
