Got a response from Slice: The following kernels are available for your slice to upgrade. Please let us know and we can take care of that for you. 2.6.24 - 23.48 2.6.24 - 24.55
I believe these should be Ubuntu kernel versions; I'm seeing right now what they actually include as it might include a fully working signalfd().
If anyone wants to contact some other providers (especially if you are already using their services) and post the response here, that would be cool.
Did someone with a Slice perform the update yet? It looks like I'm stuck with 2.6.18-xen when I -Syu. Do all SliceHost users have to email them to upgrade the kernel, and do these kernel versions really work? I wouldn't like to break my Slice too much...
The kernel is not an Arch package at all, it is managed externally by Slice.
If you send them a support request requesting a new kernel, they are happy to oblige, remembering that they will need to reboot your slice for it to be rolled out.
I asked them and the general response was that they wouldn't be updating to a compatible kernel for a little while, and that it would be listed on: http://www.slicehost.com/blog/
