I assume you use 32-bit CentOS 5 for the server node? Have you updated to CentOS 5.4?

There are some major security issues with the kernel you are using at the moment. Any reason you aren't using the newest ovzkernel?

New kernel seems to be already installed. Check your /boot/grub/grub.conf to see which kernel is set to default and reboot.
