Hi All:
In looking at OpenVZ, I believe it can support a 2.4 Kernel running as a VPS. But to run a 2.4 kernel, I think we need the following items:
1) Source code for the dummy-<os>.swsoft.i386.rpm
(I assume I need to put in a different OS's version)
2) Details of what comprises the templates files
(should be able to reverse engineer this, but would be a lot easier with documentation)
3) Use of other YUM versions
(older kernels have old yum support. I can figure out how to package it in newer local yum respositories if needed).
Are my (many) assumptions correct? If yes, can we get the source for the dummy* products?
thanks,
Paul Jochum

Unlike, say, VMware or UML, OpenVZ has a single common kernel for all of the VPSs. So no, you can not run some other kernel inside a VPS.
PS sorry it took me so long time to reply - I was not able to understand the question from the first sight.
