×Hey there,
Just wanted to step in and offer a quick update here. It’s no longer necessary for us to import new kernels. Instead, if you’re using one of our older images, you can ensure you’re using the newest kernel by switching to our “GrubLoader” kernel in the control panel, and performing a full power off/on.
This will allow your Droplet to boot using your locally installed kernels rather than the ones on our HV that we manually used to import.
Newer images boot like this automatically, but older images need to be switched over manually.
