		Hi there, 
 
I am using HyperVM with OpenVZ, and as part of the installation grub has to be reconfigured to switch to the openvz kernal. 
 
However, when I have done this and rebooted the box, it does not appear to have worked. 
 
Here is my grub.conf; 
 
" grub.conf generated by anaconda 
# 
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file 
# NOTICE:  You have a /boot partition.  This means that 
#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg. console=tty0 console=ttyS0,9600n8 
#          root (hd0,0) 
#          kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sda3 console=tty0 console=ttyS0,9600n8 
#          initrd /initrd-version.img 
#boot=/dev/sda 
default=0 
timeout=5 
serial --unit=0 --speed=9600 -word=8 --parity=no --stop=1 
terminal --timeout=2 serial console 
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz 
hiddenmenu 
title CentOS (2.6.18-53.el5PAE) 
        root (hd0,0) 
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-53.el5PAE ro root=LABEL=/ console=tty0 console=ttyS0,9600n8 
        initrd /initrd-2.6.18-53.el5PAE.img 
" 
 
Any ideas? 
 
Many thanks in advanced, 
 
Stephen

		Hi Stephen, 
 
excuse me, do i understand tight that you've install OpenVZ kernel and the node does not boot in it? 
 
If this is true, could please, post here: 
* complete grub.conf 
* which host OS do you use? 
* rpm -qa --queryformat "%{name} %{version} %{release} %{arch}\n" | grep kernel 
* what error messages exactly are on the screen when you try to boot OpenVZ kernel? 
 
Thank you.
