[max@stro.at: Re: Bug#392015: [Debian] Re: Bug#478208: linux-patch-openvz asks for kernel version 2.6.18 while default kernel on lenny is 2.6.24]

[Ola Lundqvist]

Hi

For your information. Some discussion on Debian kernel mailinglist
regarding lack of virtualization technique in Debian.

This means that we may be able to get the openvz packes in Debian
kernel so there are openvz kernels in Debian lenny version.

However that will also mean that more support is needed during the
continous development. Because after lenny they will probably expect us
to provide packes even for later kernels, and rather fast.

Best regards,

// Ola

no it is reality.
they are missing on the upstream namespace merge train.

vserver latest stable release is for 2.6.22
2.6.22 was realeased allmost 10 month ago.

going for openvz for 2.6.26 seems the way forward.
