As a vps tenant using a DomU ubuntu 10.04, how would you upgrade kernels and OS?

I am interested renting a low cost server, but they offer no help, so here I go 
asking you all...

I did an experiment with apt-get to change kernels and  it worked with some odd 
problems
to use a kernel called linux-image-2.6.32-316-ec2 
<http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/linux-image-2.6.32-316-ec2> and it would boot.

When I tried installing linux-image-2.6.32-32-server <http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid-updates/linux-image-2.6.32-32-server> it would not boot. I am thinking
that with Xen, the running kernel is not anything to do with the guest OS, and
only the kernel modules come from the guest.

Is that correct?

If so, how would one upgrade kernels on a rented virtual server instance?
Do you need help from the landlords?

Thanks,

John Griessen
