Re: [Xen-users] Ubuntu 7.x and 8x as Xen Guest OS

["a s p a s i a" <aspasia.sf@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello there,

Wanted to update;  I am trying this route - upgrading from 606-610
then 7x ..... hoping that the qemu driver will not be removed ....

question:  i followed ubuntu instructions to upgrade dapper to edgy
... it upgraded and rebooted fine - kernel has been upgraded:

uname -a
Linux ubuntu-base 2.6.15-51-amd64-generic #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Feb 12
16:56:43 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux
root@ubuntu-base:/etc/apt#

BUT ... seems like some configuration is still not changed - like the /etc/issue

 cat /etc/issue
Ubuntu 6.06.2 LTS \n \l

and the /etc/apt/sources.list still shows dapper ...

any tips to refresh this?  I'm googling thru ubuntu forum too

- a.
