Hi all,

I've got some problems installing openVZ and would be very grateful, if anyone could help me further. I'll try to provide the necessary information, but as I don't know, what might be needed, please tell me if you need more input:

I'm running opensuse 10.3 on my computer and tried to install openvz. 
I've downloaded the package

kernel-ovz-2.6.16.46_027test011-0.12.i686.rpm

from the openvz homepage.
Next I started the installation via rpm -ivh, checked the GRUB-loader /boot/grub/menu-lst and rebooted. The entry was shown and selectable but the kernel didn't boot.

Later I found another package at 

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/openvz/SUSE_Linux_10.1/

but the installation didn't work either.

I remove the silent entry from GRUB and saw, that both kernels seemed not to be able to find the disk - but that is the same as for the normal kernel as well as for the also installed XEN-kernel.

My suspect is, that the kernels do not match (please don't laugh, I'm a newbie).

My normal kernel:
stephan at mpiphysicaltest1:~> uname -r
2.6.22.17-0.1-default

And the /boot/grub/menu.lst looks like this:

timeout 8
##YaST - generic_mbr
gfxmenu (hd0,1)/boot/message
##YaST - activate

Do you have any idea, what might be wrong? Is it the wrong package? Where can I get the right package?

Thanks in advance!

Kind Regards
