Don't really have time just now to write up a wiki, but basically I followed the upgrade section in the release notes. Various bitfolk specific things I'm aware of Before starting: - make sure you know how to access your console before you start (you shouldn't need it, but if anything goes wrong you'll need it) - optionally, ask support to take a snapshot before starting - check before you upgrade that if you have root partition on /dev/xvda1 that fdisk -l /dev/xvda works. If it doesn't you need your xvda1 renaming to xvda, contact support. At the point where the release notes tell you to install a kernel then udev and reboot: - make sure grub-legacy is installed (or at least that grub2 is not installed), as grub2 doesn't work at bitfolk yet and is likely to be installed during the upgrade - use the linux-image-686-bigmem kernel; check update-grub and/or /boot/grub/menu.lst does point at the right kernel - ensure grub kopts doesn't contain clocksource=jiffies After upgrade: - check again that grub-legacy is there and menu.lst still defaults to the correct bigmem kernel Joseph
