I'm running x86_64 servers (SMP) with CentOS 4, with OpenVZ kernel 2.6.9-023stab032.1-smp. This kernel won't detect the usb to serial adapter PL2303 (prolific), the module doesn't exist on the /lib/modules/2.6.9-023stab032.1-smp/kernel/drivers/usb/seria l, so the device ttyUSB0 isn't created - it works well on my ubuntu desktop (kernel 2.6.17), and it is supposed to be supported by the kernel since version 2.6.8.
dmesg:
usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using address 2
lsusb:
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 067b:2303 Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2303 Serial Port
Is it possible to use this usb to serial adapter with OpenVZ? The current release for CentOS 4 (ovzkernel-smp-2.6.9-023stab043.2.x86_64) supports this hardware?
Thanks in advance
Fernando

The compilation of Prolific driver is enabled in OpenVZ kernels based on rhel5. So, you can download rpm packet of recent kernel of this series, install it, and after loading pl2303 kernel module (modprobe pl2303) the hardware should work.
HTH,
Vasily
