[Debian] Re: What version of debian kernel to use?

[Vasily Tarasov]

Hello, Ola,

You're building this kernel with CONFIG_VE option turned off, so you
turn off ALL OpenVZ functionality! Our kernel doesn't compile in this
situation, it's a bug (http://bugzilla.openvz.org/show_bug.cgi?id=433),
but I don't think it'll be fixed soon, as it's of minor importance.
Also note, that CONFIG_VE depends on !CONFIG_SECURITY, which is on in
your config.

Thanks,
Vasily.
