Hi,

I have compiled a custom kernel using the kernel source

http://wiki.openvz.org/Kernel_build#Rebuilding_kernel_from_s ources
http://bobcares.com/index.php/blog/?p=107

But when I went to install the vz utilities after finishing the compilation, the yum again installed another openvz kernel as a dependency.

[root@localhost ~]# uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.18-028stab056 #1 SMP Wed Mar 4 22:21:49 IST 2009 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
[root@localhost ~]# 
[root@localhost ~]# yum install vzctl

Is this ok [y/N]: 



Why it is again installing another kernel ?

Hi,

Any idea, is this a common method used while installing vzctl ?

But actually the kernel is not needed since we have already compiled manually.
