Hi

I have a notebook with a VIA C3 processor.

Openvz works with this processor ?

Thanks in advance.

OpenVZ actually works on this processor type, but there is a problem with templates. I've connected recently with Jan Den Ouden, who has tried to get openVZ work on VIA C3:

Quote:

"It turns out that a lot of distributions, during install, will try to install a i686 package for some packages (libc for example) if they detect an i686 processor. So if I create an image on a i686 processor, I can't transfer it to a virtual environment on a C3 processor."


VIA C3 isn't pure i686 processor. AFAIK it's i386. And openVZ templates are created on base of distribution, which relies on i686 platform. So, unfortunaly, precreated templates will not work. =(

However you can create your own template, or just copy your node inside VPS.

Good luck!

I'd add that you can try to recreate the templates, say, for FC5, by
explicitly adding .i386 to each line in default.list file (which is in
template metadata) and running vzpkgcache -f fedora-core-5. That way you
will force the installation of i386 packages not i686.
