First it is not a duplicate question as I already tested the solutions I found using a Google search. Here are what I tested:

https://github.com/dannyti/sboxsetup/wiki/Changing-OVH-Server-Kernel Switching from OVH kernel to default kernel without reinstalling Ubuntu

If it is really a duplicate please tell what I did wrong.

So I have an Armhf server from SoYouStart (OVh) which comes with a custom Linux Kernel:

uname -a
Linux ns3087832.ip-54-37-26.eu 4.9.124-armada375 #1 SMP Mon Sep 3 19:18:09 CEST 2018 armv7l GNU/Linux

The answers I found on the Internet suggest to install linux-image-generic and then change the grub config (removing 06_OVHkerne which I don't have). I did this but my server always boot with the custom kernel. Also grub wasn't installed so I installed.

Here some information that may help:

How can I change the Linux kernel of my server?
