Well I have tried several times and NV.run complains about the naming of
the kernel so I have always compiled the newer kernel without problems.
It also looks like they have messed with modprobe because it no longer
installs the needed file in /lib/modules/kernel#### on any kernel but theirs

Simplify data backup and recovery for your virtual environment with vRanger.
Installation's a snap, and flexible recovery options mean your data is safe,
secure and there when you need it. Data protection magic?
Nope - It's vRanger. Get your free trial download today.
