I'd forgotten this myself. I guess this puts an end to my procrastination.

I note that my root filesystem is on /dev/sda1. Aside from changing my
fstab to use UUIDs, are there any other special considerations for the
upgrade since I'm using /dev/sda* as opposed to /dev/xvda?
Note - Andy is probably on his way back from FOSDEM right now, so I
would set your expectations accordingly if you fire off a support
ticket to get a snapshot of your VPS root fs :)
Cheers,
Graham

If you have a /dev/sda1 witout a /dev/sda then the update-grub
script will probably complain and be unable to rewrite your menu.lst
for the new kernel, failing the installation of that package.
You could manually fix up the menu.lst and it would work fine, but I
advise putting in a support ticket to get the block devices changed
to /dev/xvda (with your FS directly on it).
Cheers,
Andy
