It went further than previously, but on reboot OVH said there was a proble mand had to do an "intervention" I'm on the phone with them now and I'm going to have them do it.

SOLVED

Alrighty, for any future OVH customers...

When you choose to install (or re-install) your Dedicated Server, follow these steps.

1. Select Reinstall from your manager
2. Choose the distro you want (Debian, Ubuntu, etc)
3. Click Next
4. In the bottom left is a checkbox "Use Original Kernel"
5. Select this, then hit "Next"
6. Compile as normal

Pro tip: Don't skip over selection boxes when they involve your server.
