[Debian] Re: Bug#482657: kernel-patch-openvz causes a kernel panic

[Ola Lundqvist]

Hi Patrick

It would be good to know if you have the same problem with the kernel
version in unstable. The reason is that, that version has really a lot
of bugs fixed. It will apply fine to the kernel in stable (as far as I
have tested at least).

Best regards,
