there nothing related 3.11... there menu.lst in /boot/grub entries related 3.11, removed file.
there nothing related 3.11 in /boot or /etc/default/grub, /initrd.img
points boot/initrd.img-4.4.0-45-generic
, /vmlinuz
points boot/vmlinuz-4.4.0-45-generic
etc.
what can upgrade kernel 4.4.x?
btw, after every change remembered update-grub
, doing update-initramfs
, rebooted server...
you mentioned you're using digitalocean droplet. method of kernel deployment differs system running on bare metal
refer digital ocean's documentation kernel upgrades.
to sum gotchas:
- if you're using kernel provided control panel, you'll have make changes there, too.
- reboot of droplet alone not upgrade kernel, shutdown does
- you can select special
grubloader
kernel delegate kernel selection guest operaing system.
