Hi,
I have a dedicated server in a datacenter, and when I try to boot with openvz kernel, I loose network. I have asked the datacenter personnel to reboot in a stock Centos4 kernel, and I'm waiting for it to come back up.
I think the network card might not be supported. I think it is a marvell chipset. As soon as the server is up, I can provide info.
What should I look for? lspci output? dmesg output? lsmod?
Regards,
Ugo

lspci:

dmesg:

Weird, here I found someone using openvz kernel with this card:

I've also seen that a sky2 kernel module may be used with this kind of card.

Hello Ugo,
most probably i know the reason of the network disappearance. 
The key thing here is:
> lsmod:
> sk98lin 144553 1
2.6.9-x kernels support your NIC with sk98lin driver, while this driver was obsoleted in 2.6.18-x (and not compiled).
In 2.6.18-x kernels skge driver supportd your NIC, so please try to edit /etc/modprobe.conf and replace alias eth0 from 'sk98lin' to 'skge'.
P.S. please note, that after this action the network won't start up automatically on stock CentOS4 kernel.
To check if skge works ok with your NIC, just 'modprobe skge' while running 2.6.18. eth0 should appear.
If you want to be able to boot both CentOS4 stock kernel (2.6.9) and OpenVZ kernel (2.6.18), you can try to hack /etc/init.d/network sctipt, adding 'modprobe skge' line at the very begginng of it.
Hope this helps.

Konstantin.
If your problem is solved - please, report it!
It's even more important than reporting the problem itself...
