I believe the default OVH kernal is not modular, if you do a search on the forums there is a post somewhere on how to recompile.

2.6.27.10-grsec-xxxx-grs-ipv4-32

How do I compile a new kernel to enable ipv6 - and why on an ipv6 server is it not enabled by default at installation?

Following the code at http://beginlinux.com/desktop_traini...-ubuntu-kernel I get this immediately:
