<div>Hi Axton,</div>
<div>
<pre wrap="">> Any guidance to the contrary would be appreciated.

meanwhile I solved it my onw way. May be, the following description will fit<br/>

<div><br/>
Hopefully, I'm 'in line' now again so new OpenVZ kernel updates will work<br/>
like before when using apt-get for updating them ;-)</div>
