Below are the downloads for the latest OpenVZ kernel based on 2.6.24.

Warning.svg 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.

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.

Configs

Based on Fedora's config with small tweaks:

  • CONFIG_SCSI_SCAN_ASYNC=n
  • CONFIG_SECURITY=n
  • CONFIG_GRKERNSEC=y

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.
