Will I hit kernel problems if I upgrade the OS without the kernel, or the

Is there a recommended/tested kernel package?
You should be able to go through
every version of Ubuntu through
Intrepid to Lucid (or Maverick). At least one customer has done it.
Though,
dependant on the spec of your box, you might find you OOM, like
I did, so make sure you get a snapshot first!
I would have thought it will be easier just migrating
to a new VPS though:

done it - a lot easier - and it's always nice to
have a fresh box..
