You can use latest RHEL6-based kernel builds on your Debian or Ubuntu 
machine. Here's how.


1. Get the latest kernel from either Download/kernel/rhel6-testing or 
Download/kernel/rhel6. You need vzkernel and vzkernel-devel packages 
only, with the -devel being optional.

2. Install fakeroot and alien:
  apt-get install alien fakeroot

3. Convert these two rpms to debs using alien. This is
  fakeroot alien --to-deb --scripts --keep-version vzkernel-*.rpm

4. Install debs as usual. Reboot. Enjoy.
  dpkg -i vzkernel*.deb
