• CONFIG_SECURITY=n
• CONFIG_GRKERNSEC=y

Compatibility notes

• All OpenVZ specific sysctls were made /proc/sys-only.
• Due to fairsched absence /proc/fairsched, /proc/fairsched2, sys_fairsched_* system calls are unavailable, fairsched VE tunables are temporarily ignored.

RPMS

You need only one kernel RPM so please choose the appropriate one depending on your hardware:

• If your x86 (i686, IA32) machine has more than 4 GB of RAM, choose kernel-PAE RPM.
• Otherwise, use the plain kernel RPM (i.e. kernel).

For more info, see Kernel flavors.

x86 (i686, IA32)

• RPMS will be provided in future releases.

ppc64 (Power)

• RPMS will be provided in future releases.
