Warning: This kernel branch is currently frozen. Essentially that means it is neither maintained nor supported, could contain security vulnerabilities and other bugs, and generally should not be used. Please check the list of supported kernel branches at Download/kernel page.

Warning: this is an old version of 2.6.24 kernel. For the latest version, see Download/kernel/2.6.24/2.6.24-ovz009.1.

Kernel branch 2.6.24
Based on	vanilla 2.6.24
Status	frozen, not maintained
Latest	2.6.24-ovz009.1
Archives	2.6.24
Git repo	linux-2.6.24-openvz

Changes

• First release of 2.6.24-based OpenVZ kernel.
• Based on mainline 2.6.24.3 kernel.
• Port to part of net namespaces infrastructure from mainline.
• CPT is back and working (modulo bugs).
• Fair scheduler was dropped, mainline scheduler is used.

For the complete list of changes in this release, see git changelog for kernel v2.6.24-ovz002.2.

Config changes

Based on Fedora's config with small tweaks:

• CONFIG_SCSI_SCAN_ASYNC=n
• 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.
