Hi, It will be rhel kernels in deb format. I'm going to test out some aspects to see what kind of obstacles we can face. Maybe I should try these too... I'm really undecided what to do with my current OpenVZ installations. My machines are old amd64 without CPU virtualisation capabilities,

Hi Kir and Pavel Thanks for the answer. Then I will take the action to do the following: - Test alienized kernels and if they work well do the rest in the list - Update the repository with the new kernels (either a new one or the old one we will see) - Update vzctl and vzquota with

Hi Ben and Pavel Thanks a lot. Then I think I know the way forward. We will create a repository (either on debian.net or keep the one on openvz.org) and put the kernels there. I will document this in the vzctl and vzquota packages to give further instructions. Pavel, do this sounds good to you.
