The step of "building some drivers using the kernel sources" goes before the step of "installing ovzkernel-smp". Drivers are always build against certain version of kernel. So, I guess, you should build them after ovz kernel is installed (and booted?) However this doesn't explain the error... Can you tell me, please, does CentOS 4.4 kernel with no additional drivers boot normally? Thanks.

Can you tell me, please, does CentOS 4.4 kernel with no additional drivers boot normally? Thanks. The CentOS kernel does boot normally without the compaq drivers in place, though the devices are not fully functional (there is a tape drive attached to the scsi bus). Chances are I need to start over and run the compaq smartstart installation, which builds the compaq drivers, after the openvz kernel is in place. I will do this tonight and post the results.

When comparing the CentOS and OpenVZ kernel .config's, it would appear that the CentOS build compiles scsi support as a module whereas OpenVZ compiles it into the kernel. One other small bit, I downloaded the cciss driver src rpm from sourceforge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/cciss/) and compiled a binary rpm, updated the openvz initrd to include the cciss.ko module, but still see the same. # cd /usr/source/redhat/SPECS # rpmbuild -bb cciss.spec # rpm -Uhv --replacefiles /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/cpq_cciss-2.6.14-7.i386.rpm <update openvz initrd, include cciss.ko in lib and update init to do insmod>

description: Ok, I almost have the test kernel installed, but I screwed up and missed the network driver when installing the stock 2.6.18 kernel; so I can't get the openvz test kernel onto the box very easily. It looks like upgrading the kernel to 2.6.18.6 fixed the errors. I am guessing there was a driver update to the cciss driver that corrected some type of problem. The cciss driver in the 2.6.9 kernel is 2.6.10; the cciss driver in the 2.6.18.6 kernel is 3.6.10. I am going to back out at this point and install the latest stable openvz kernal and build a binary rpm for the 3.6.x cciss driver and see if that corrects the issue.

Thanks, Vasily On the 2.6.18 stock kernel (from kernel.org), the device engages properly and works fine. On the 2.6.18 OpenVZ kernel, the device will not register/engage. Axton Grams
