Gandi servers stuck on reboot (GRUB)

The Gandi servers suck so bad that when you reboot them, sometimes they don’t come back online. If this happens, you need to do this:

  1. Launch the emergency SSH console.
  2. At the GRUB > prompt, enter:
    configfile (xen/xvda1)/boot/grub2/grub.conf
  3. Select the newest kernel version (at the top) and click “e” to continue with editing.
  4. Scroll to the bottom of the config info and delete the 16 from linux16 and initrd16
    linux16  /boot/................
    initrd16 /boot/................
  5. Next type Ctrl+X to boot the machine up.
  6. Say a prayer and cross your fingers.
