Hi All!
A want to upgrade my openvz host on debian squezze. When I run "aptitude
upgrade," it shows me to upgrade base kernel too. Is it recommended? Or is
there a way to exclude original kernel from upgrades?
apt-get upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following packages will be upgraded:
aptitude base-files ca-certificates firmware-linux-free grub-common grub-pc
libgssapi-krb5-2 libgssrpc4 libk5crypto3 libkadm5clnt-mit7 libkadm5srv-mit7
libkdb5-4 libkrb5-3 libkrb5support0 libssl0.9.8 linux-base
linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64 linux-image-2.6.32-5-openvz-amd64 openssh-client
openssh-server
openssl tzdata usbutils
23 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 69.8 MB of archives.
After this operation, 7,168 kB disk space will be freed.
Best Regards!

It should be 2.6.32 and the HN should probably be RHEL6 (or its
derivative like SL6/CentOS6). If it's debian -- the user should
install RHEL6's kernel (there was a discussion in the neighbor thread
about debian and proxmox kernel [1]) because debian's kernel don't
have vswap support (that's AFAIR).
Personally, I don't get that thing: using debian as HN. OpenVZ ships
their kernel for RHEL and tests them on RHEL, all the features goes
there first before debian guys will incorporate them into their
kernel. So, maybe it's a good idea to use RHEL as your HN just to
minimize your work, wouldn't you think so? And if you hate RHEL so
much -- hey, it's just the HN, you can do a bazillions of debian CTs
there.
So, I would never recommend debian as a HN.

No one like to use every distribution available and multiple OS in
corperate environment, as with every flavor the management get more
taxing as you for sure already know. If you are a RHEL using company,
fine. But if the only RHEL running systems would be the HN(s) it is
simply not the preferred choice. That might be one of the reasons for
the hype about LXC, to not get sticked with one special distribution
to get the most of it.
As always YMMV
