On Monday, I'm planning to go into the colocation facility sometime
around noon my time (New York City time, Eastern time zone) to try to
upgrade to the 'ricky special' kernel to get DMA working on the
remainder of the older 1U machines.
To do this, I have to reboot the machines in turn, changing a bios
setting, and then booting into the proper kernel.
As I understand it, on the apaches when I do this, it will be more or
less seamless for website users.
But for other machines (zwinger, for example) it's more complex. What
should I do? Can someone help me?
