It looks like I'm stuck with 2.6.18-xen when I -Syu. Do all SliceHost users have to email them to upgrade the kernel, and do these kernel versions really work? I wouldn't like to break my Slice too much... The kernel is not an Arch package at all, it is managed externally by Slice. If you send them a support request requesting a new kernel, they are happy to oblige, remembering that they will need to reboot your slice for it to be rolled out. -Dan
