Hello,
I'm afraid there's another round of security updates needed as a
flaw has been discovered in some (Xen-specific) parts of the Linux
kernel.
It's not the hypervisor this time but it still needs a kernel
upgrade on our side so the effect is basically the same, so there
will be another reboot of all servers, likely in the early hours (UK
time) of 11–13 August.
Customers will soon receive an individual email confirming the
hour-long maintenance window specific to their server(s). The actual
work is expected to take 10–30 minutes within that window.
As before we should be able to do a suspend/restore if you have
enabled that at:

Cheers,

Hi,
It looks like the recent Debian stretch updated kernel doesn't boot
under Xen:
<https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=903767>
This also means that right now you cannot self-install Debian
stable.
If you reboot and experience this, you will need to boot back into
the previous kernel. I am investigating now if there is any quick
fix or workaround. In the mean time those affected should follow
that bug to know when it is resolved.
Cheers,
Andy
