i tried yesterday the same and got centos5 ve under centos5 running. what i did: 1) fetched precreated centos-4-i386-default.tar.gz and installed 2) updated ve to centos 4.4 (yum update) 3) cleaned yum cache, fetched from centos5: -> centos-release-5-0.0.el5.centos.2.i386.rpm -> centos-release-notes-5.0.0-2.i386.rpm installed them (see upgrading centos4 to centos5 on wiki.centos.org) 4) tried yum upgrade, which failed because of konflikt of httpd and initscripts 5) fetched initscripts from centos5 -> initscripts-8.45.14.EL-1.el5.centos.1.i386.rpm and updated them rpm -Fvh --force initscripts-8.45.14.EL-1.el5.centos.1.i386.rpm force is needed becaus of complaining wrong kernel 6) yum upgrade vzctl stop & start, vzctl enter failed with complaining about missing devices (centos5 is using udev !) vzctl stop and edited /etc/rc.sysinit, commented out start_udev and copied missing devices from a default centos4 ve. i haven't checked if everything else is ok, but primary goal was getting centos 6 with apache, php and mysql vor webserver running. i will test the ve over the weekend and will report again. peter > Really strange, since they've got an RHEL 5 kernel on the OpenVZ site. > No templates for VE's, though.
