====== Update your modules ======
 
===== Information =====

If you were using our services during the beta phase, you will need to reboot your server in order to use the latest kernel available.

===== Update process =====

In order to update your server's modules, you need to: 
  * Change directory to root: // cd / //
  * Download the modules' archive: // wget %%http://mirrors.gandi.net/kernel/$(uname -r)-modules.tar.gz%% //
  * Move the existing modules: // mv -f /lib/modules/$(uname -r) /lib/modules/$(uname -r).ancien //
  * Uncompress the archive: // tar xzf $(uname -r)-modules.tar.gz//
  * Then : // depmod  $(uname -r) //
  * If you are upgrading a module, you might want to list loaded modules: // lsmod //
  * Test the presence of the new module: // modinfo your_module //. For example: // modinfo ipv6 // returns with the information field of the module.
  * If everything went well, delete the old directory: // rm -rf /lib/modules/$(uname -r).ancien // and remove the downloaded file // rm /$(uname -r)-modules.tar.gz //
  * If needed, reload the module // rmmod your_module ; modprobe your_module // to use the new version

Your modules are now available.
