I would like to know if I can safely upgrade the kernel of my Debian stretch machine @ OVH. They are proposing the following kernel update : amd64 Linux kernel, version 4.9.150-xxxx-std-ipv6-64.

Thanks in advance.

Why do you use an OVH kernel and not the Proxmox VE kernel?
 
I guess not as I am also getting kernel updates from the Proxmox source. I assume that I can just comment out the entry in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ovhkernel.list ?

I just reinstalled Debian and Proxmox 5 on a server that has been running since 2013... It was the first time that I was getting such a kernel upgrade proposed. Turned it down.

Post the output of:

> pveversion -v

So you can see which kernel is installed and running.
 
I am using Webmin and didn't notice that in the list of packages to update there was at the same time the Proxmox kernel. I had unchecked the OVH one so that my host has just been upgraded to pve-kernel-4.15 as you can see below.

Thx

Looks good, but you miss a reboot to activate kernel pve-kernel-4.15.18-10-pve.
