No changes to .config over the linode23 kernel (.config is posted here) other than adding MPPE support.

Jeff's Changelog

Changelog highlights:
MPPE is now present in the UML config.
Fixed the klogd bug.
The real-time clock now uses gettimeofday rather than the tsc. This improves portability and provides better behavior in the presence of slowed or suspended CPUs.
Fixed a bug which sometimes caused a skas UML to die from a timer that it wasn't expecting.

How to Upgrade

See if you're already running 2.4.25-linode25-2um by viewing the output of "uname -a" inside your Linode. If not, follow this procedure:

:arrow: Log into the Linode Platform Manager (LPM)
:arrow: Configuration Profiles --> Click on your configuration profile
:arrow: Make sure the Kernel drop-down has "Latest 2.4 Series" selected and Save
:arrow: Reboot your Linode

Thanks and enjoy!

Hi,

I've got two linodes (on host11 and 17) and since I upgraded them into 2.4.25-linode25-2um they both where suddenly shut down twice. I've selected again 2.4.25-linode25-1um since I find out what is the cause of this issue.

Has anybody the same problem?

Hi,

I had a problem during boot with the 2um kernel, which prevented the system from booting.

Had to switch back to the 1um kernel and all worked fine.
