Hi,
because I could´nt get any answers in th german forum, I came here to ask my question.

I have installed openVZ on my system, following exactly the quick-installation in the wiki. It works fine

After I downloaded a precreated template of centos5 from this source:

http://wiki.openvz.org/Download/template/precreated

When I tried to create a VE with it, the following shows up:

Debian-40-etch-64-minimal:~# vzctl create 102 --ostemplate centos-5-i386-minimal.tar.gz --config vps.basic
Creating VE private area (centos-5-i386-minimal.tar.gz)
Cached os template /var/lib/vz/template/cache/centos-5-i386-minimal.tar.gz.tar. gz not found
Creation of VE private area failed
Debian-40-etch-64-minimal:~#

What I don´t understand:
The first VE I set up, using a Debian Etch Image i386, is working without problems.

My Kernels are:

title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.18-12-fza-amd64
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-12-fza-amd64 root=/dev/md1 ro
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-12-fza-amd64
savedefault

title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.18-12-fza-amd64 (single-user mode)

initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-12-fza-amd64
savedefault

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-6-amd64 root=/dev/md1 ro
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-6-amd64

root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-6-amd64 root=/dev/md1 ro single
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-6-amd64
savedefault

I work now for more than two days on it, trying again and again, because I want to use Easyvz and they say, that it can be installed only on a centos5* OS.

Can you people please help me out of the mud?
Would be very kind, ´cause I really dont have any more ideas.

regards
