You can use latest RHEL6-based kernel builds on your Debian or Ubuntu machine. Here's how. =install=Installation ==1. Get the latest kernel from either [[Download/kernel/rhel6-testing]] or [[Download/kernel/rhel6]]. You need <code>vzkernel</code> and <code>vzkernel-devel</code> packages only, with the <code>-devel</code> being optional. 2. Install fakeroot and alien:
apt-get install alien fakeroot
fakeroot alien -k kernel-2.6.27-chistyakov.1.x86_64.rpm
sudo dpkg -i kernel_2.6.27-chistyakov.1_amd64.deb
sudo update-initramfs -c -k 2.6.27-chistyakov.1
sudo update-grub
=uninstall=3. Convert these two rpms to debs using alien. This is sudo dpkg fakeroot alien --to-deb -r kernel sudo rm -fr /lib/modules/2.6.27scripts -chistyakov.1 sudo update-initramfs keep-d version vzkernel-k 2*.rpm 4.6Install debs as usual.27-chistyakovReboot. Enjoy.1 sudo updatedpkg -grubi vzkernel*.deb
