</div></div>Check the top of the page which says:<br>

Lenny and above<br>
<br>
Debian Lenny and Sid already include the openvz kernel<br>
(linux-image-${version}-openvz-${arch}), so the manual compilation is<br>
not necessary in many cases.</blockquote><div><br>Thanks, this is what I'm using ATM. But my hosting provider wants a compiled kernel with a number of features (no module support, and so on). They provide a .config with their configuration. This is not mandatory, but if I don't use their custom kernel and one of my servers gets hacked, they shoot first and talk later ;-)<br>
<br>So, what I need to do is to take a vanilla kernel, apply OpenVZ patch, apply their config, enable VZ-related functionalities... But, patches I find on <a href="http://download.openvz.org/kernel/">http://download.openvz.org/kernel/</a> are marked as 'development versions'. That scares me a bit, because it is for a production environment.<br>
