alien is obsoleted and overrated
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 ==
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
* vzctlploop-lib* ploop
* vzquota
<code>vzkernel-devel</code> is optional.
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*.debploop*.debIf you're having problem about overwriting files from other packages, try adding <code>--force-overwrite</code> option.
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 boot automatically.
update-rc.d vz defaults
update-rc.d vzeventd defaults
8. Reboot.
9. Follow the [[Quick installation]] from “installing OS template caches”.
10. See also [[Common Networking HOWTOs]].
