Reboot a distant server with a new kernel
Hello,
I am about to upgrade the kernel of a distant server remotely. There are
massive changes and i am scared that it won't boot anymore. My problem
is that this machine has no video card or keyboard (otherwise i could
use Lilo to choose between the new kernel and the old one that works
perfectly).
I was wondering if there is a way to reboot just for once on the new
kernel and if it doesn't work then it would reboot on the working one.
Any suggestion ?
I don't really want to go on the server pick the harddrive, stick it on
another machine with a video card and a keyboard if something goes wrong...
Regards,
Thomas
