You can use the latest RHEL6-based kernel builds on your Debian or Ubuntu 6.0 machine. Here's how.
== Installation ==
1. Get the latest kernel and utils from either [[Download/kernel/rhel6-testing]] or and [[Download/kernel/rhel6utils]]. You need <code>* vzkernel</code> and <code>* vzkernel-devel</code> packages only, with the * vzctl* vzctl-lib* vzquota<code>vzkernel-devel</code> being is optional.
2. Install fakeroot and alien:. apt-get install fakeroot alien fakeroot
3. Convert these two rpms all the RPMs to debs using alien. This is fakeroot alien --to-deb --scripts --keep-version vzkernel-vz*.rpm
4. Install debs as usual. Reboot. Enjoy. dpkg -i vzkernelvz*.deb 5. Modify <code>/boot/grub/menu.lst</code>. See “configuring the bootloader” of [[Quick installation]]. 6. Edit <code>/etc/sysctl.conf</code>. See “sysctl” of [[Quick installation]]. 7. Make OpenVZ boots automatically. update-rc.d vz defaults 8. Reboot. reboot 9. Follow the [[Quick installation]] from “installing OS template caches”.
