I suggest you to work with a real centos and not with an OVH image

Actually I found out that the booted kernel is from netboot not from the HDD, so I changed to HDD boot, but the server wont boot up with the kernel that I've created

So any help please?

Hi, I've been tring for hours now to install VDSmanager which use ovzkernel, on my server..

I have CentOS 5.2 x64 OS.

I've tried to install it useing sh, and everything went smooth, untill the server reboot, as the server wont boot up with the default ovzkernel

So I tried to patch the linux vanilla kernel with the ovzkernel

Code:
vmlinuz-2.6.18-92.1.13.el5.028stab059.3
so I've tried this method which has been posted here,

and this is what I've done..

Code:
cd /usr/src
wget http://download.openvz.org/kernel/branches/2.6.24/2.6.24-ovz006.5/patches/patch-ovz006.5-combined.gz
wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.24.tar.bz2
tar xf linux-2.6.24.tar.bz2
cd linux-2.6.24
gzip -dc /usr/src/patch-ovz006.5-combined.gz | patch -p1
make mrproper
wget ftp://ftp.ovh.net/made-in-ovh/bzImage/2.6-config-xxxx-std-ipv4-64
mv 2.6-config-xxxx-std-ipv4-64 .config
make menuconfig
Then I loaded alternative kernel and I chosed .config, then I exit and save the changes..

Code:
make
cp arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage /boot/ovz-kernel-2.6.24
Then I added the new kernel info to lilo.conf and ran Iilo then I rebooted the server..

the server boots with the new kernel, but VDSmanager couldn't create a VPS, and show me this error messege..

"Error: Internal error VDS not found"

and when I asked the VDSmanager support, they said that this error is, because I do not use the default ovzkernel..

the thing is that I might need to use the OVZ configs, but then it would be the same as the default ovzkernel..

any suggestion?

by the way, do I need to download System.map-2.6.24.5-xxxx-std-ipv4-64 to boot directory?
