Download/kernel
An OpenVZ kernel is the central part of OpenVZ. We maintain a few branches, based on different kernels. Below you'll find a link to all of them. For installation info, check quick installation.
If you are not sure which kernel to download, use RHEL5 (on any distro).
Stable
These are stable, supported branches which we take care of.
- RHEL4
- Based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 kernel (2.6.9 based). Super stable.
- Latest version is 023stab054.1.
- RHEL5
- Based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 kernel (2.6.18 based). Stable.
- Latest version is 028stab122.4.
- 2.6.18
- Based on vanilla 2.6.18. Less stable, does not contain all the security fixes which are in RHEL5. Use for distro kernels which maintain their own security patches (such as Debian).
- Latest version is 028stab056.1.
Development
These are development, bleeding edge branches. Use at your own risk.
- 2.6.26
- Based on vanilla 2.6.26.
- Latest version is 2.6.26-gogol.1.
- 2.6.24
- Based on vanilla 2.6.24.
- Latest version is 2.6.24-ovz009.1.
Old stuff
These branches are not developed/supported anymore. They are here mostly for the historical reasons. Do not use.
