Hi, all.
I wrote a few days ago, to the effect that the fellow setting up our
hardware was having trouble getting OpenVZ to work under FC6 on x86_64.
Using the same procedure, he can use FC6 32-bit without a hitch.
He's trying to boot into the OpenVZ kernel, and it's stopping. Iit gets as
far as "Input: AT Translated set 2 keyboard as /class/input/input0" which
is the keyboard loading. That should be followed immediately by the root
filesystem... but it's not. Just sits there.
He says that it doesn't panic, and that it's not frozen cuz a ctrl-alt-del
will reset the machine. Just gets to that point and stops. Any thoughts on
what could cause that or how we can try to get to the bottom of it? If
necessary, I can get a hardware list.
Again, it works A-OK under FC6 32-bit, which is what makes this so
mysterious.

Hello,
what OpenVZ kernel version do you use?
Have you compiled the kernel by your self or you have used a rpm
package?
What FC6 kernel version does boot smoothly?
Please, post /boot/grub/grub.conf file here.
Thanks,
Vasily

You may need to press Alt-SysRq-P and Alt-SysRq-T and collect the output.
this will dump the required info about whether kernel hangs.
Thanks,

Yum doesn't know anything special about the kernels (aside from the fact
they should be installed, not upgraded; also some yum setups care to
deinstall very old kernel packages). So it's up to the user to decide
which kernel to use. I have just checked installation instructions on
wiki ( http://wiki.openvz.org/Quick_installation#Kernel_installatio n) and
they clearly tell a user to select the proper kernel, see:
Using yum
Run the following command
# yum install ovzkernel[-flavor]
Here |[-flavor]| is optional, and can be |-smp| or |-enterprise|. Refer
to kernel flavors <http://wiki.openvz.org/Kernel_flavors> for more info.

Hey, I bet that's it. I bet he didn't specify "ovzkernel-smp"
Thanks for the tip, Kir.
