Clarification on openvz yum repo and most up-to-date kernel [message #5801]

We recently installed the openvz kernel on a CentOS
machine using the openvz yum repository. The
installation of the kernel and associated utilities
worked perfectly, and the openvz worked properly after
that.

However we noticed that the installed kernel version
was ovzkernel-smp-2.6.8-022stab078.10.i686.rpm rather
than the most up-to-date version of
ovzkernel-smp-2.6.8-022stab078.14.i686.rpm. Based on
the instructions on the openvz website, the repository
address is http://download.openvz.org/current/. And
in fact in that directory is the ".10" kernel rather
than the presumably more up-to-date ".14" kernel.

So there seems to be some confusion on what is the
correct kernel to install from the openvz yum repo.
Any clarification would be appreciated. Thank you.

It was a misconfiguration on our side.
Thanks for reporting this -- this is now fixed. Just run yum update
again to install the latest stable kernel.
