Hi All, I have a kernel question...

I realize that withOpenVZ all VPSes share the same instance of the host system’s kernel. So if I’m running it on Debian Sarge they the kernel is 2.4.8 or whatever it is.

What happens if a user starts a Debian Sarge template and then tries to upgrade to say Etch, which uses the 2.6.18 kernel? Does everything go down in flames?
