I tried the 1. solution. Works fine for me now!

I'll try to recompile the packages with the hints you gave me. I'll do this
tomorrow.

I've taken the ppc64 rpm binary packages from
http://openvz.org/download/utils/
So there is also a mixture of 32 and 64 bit packages in there.
I think vzctl an vzctl-lib is 32 bit, while vzquota is 64 bit.

I was wrong when I mentioned that it is not set. I've had a look at the
kernel .config file. There it set. But in menuconfig I can't find it. See
also my response to Alexey please.
