Distribution dependand (already heavily patched) kernels kann not be
patched "out of the box". Further (i.e vserver) patches have to be
adjusted to fit the already patched (and therefore moved and changed)
lines of a distribution supplied kernel. Usually this is not too easy
to do, but a "vanilla" (i.e. kernel.org sourced "plain" kernel) should
do it's work as well (if not better).

Both ways have pro's and contra's. I've tried both - and I personally
prefer new build and reinstall of relevant services for several rea-
sons:
.) Time: Upgrade usually looks like the "faster" way. In my experiance
(with a clear structured system) it usually still takes the same
amount of time to upgrade as it takes for reinstallation - install
of packages is one thing, changing changed configs the other,
solving "strange" issues the third
.) Uptime: Whilst preparing the new system the other still can run and
mostly "silent" migrated when the new one is up and running
.) Transparency: A fresh installed system never has overhead of a pre-
vious install, neither replaced configs, nor unused binaries
.) Troubleshooting: If a fresh installed sys does not run, it can't be
due to old or misplaced configs ;-)
