Andy, do you run a mail relay/smarthost for customers?
I've got nullmailer running on one of my VPS, and it looks like I
configured it with a bitfolk.com smarthost, but it doesn't dig/accept SMTP
(so I'm guessing it either used to exist and doesn't any more, or it never
existed and I just made some shit up)
Kind regards
Murray Crane
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,
Andy

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

Hi Guys,
I'm out of my depth. Help needed.
Running Ubuntu.
After applying changes, including those "Held back" by Apt-get, it
reported that it needed a restart.
The restart failed. Finally got onto the console and saw it was failing
with
error: file `/boot/vmlinuz-4.4.0-127-generic' not found.
So tried the other (older) versions listed and an old version is now
running. Now running is
ian@hobsoni:~$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS
Release: 16.04
Codename: xenial
ian@hobsoni:~$
How can I recover, and get grub set up so default boot works again please?
Just in case it removes "disk full" questions...
ian@hobsoni:~$ df -h
