You can use the latest RHEL6-based kernel builds on your Debian 6.0 machine. Here's how.
|
Warning: While it works, the best way is to use native kernel/tools builds for Wheezy, please see Installation on Debian. |
Installation[edit]
1. Get the latest kernel and utils from Download/kernel/rhel6 (or Download/kernel/rhel6-testing) and Download/utils. You need
- vzkernel
- vzkernel-devel
- vzctl-core
- vzctl
- ploop-lib
- ploop
- vzquota
vzkernel-devel is optional.
2. Install fakeroot and alien.
apt-get install fakeroot alien
3. Convert all the RPMs to debs using alien.
fakeroot alien --to-deb --scripts --keep-version vz*.rpm ploop*.rpm
4. Install debs.
dpkg -i vz*.deb ploop*.deb
If you're having problem about overwriting files from other packages, try adding --force-overwrite option.
5. Modify /boot/grub/menu.lst. See “configuring the bootloader” of Quick installation.
6. Edit /etc/sysctl.conf. See “sysctl” of Quick installation.
7. Make OpenVZ boot automatically.
update-rc.d vz defaults update-rc.d vzeventd defaults
8. Reboot.
reboot
9. Follow the Quick installation from “installing OS template caches”.
10. See also Common Networking HOWTOs.
