Hmm... you seem to have kernel-firmware and vzkernel-firmware installed at the same time, which is odd - if I remember correctly, these should be conflicting. I might be wrong since I haven't used regular and OpenVZ kernels at the same time for quite a while... What I usually do is to uninstall regular kernels on our OpenVZ servers alltogether.

As a very quick fix (unless you really need regular kernels) I'd advise you to either stop updating them or uninstall them completely.

So, either set your yum configuration to exclude kernel* or use 'yum update -x kernel*'.

To uninstall them, use 'yum remove kernel*'. Make sure your /boot/grub/grub.conf still points to your OpenVZ kernel (vzkernel) afterwards and that you still have vzkernel and vzkernel-firmware installed, of course. Twisted Evil
