Hi,

I´m installing OpenVZ over a fresh CentOS 5.2 install. I follow instructions and everything seems to be fine until I

finally reboot the system to make the new kernel active. On start up the system complains over a missing kernel module (Can't find venet kernel module) and so it reverts to the default centos kernel. SO when I try to run vz it says the running kernel is not openVZ kernel.
lsmod is not listing the module.

I tried installing the modules from yum and rpm packages and both failed.

The strange thing is that grub does not show both kernels as I suppose it should, It only shows the default

kernel. But /boot/grub/grub.conf seems to be perfectly fine, here is the listing:

# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You do not have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg.
# root (hd0,0)
# kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/mapper/ddf1_Array01p1
# initrd /boot/initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/mapper/ddf1_Array01
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz

title OpenVZ (2.6.18-92.1.1.el5.028stab057.2)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-92.1.1.el5.028stab057.2 ro root=LABEL=/
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.18-92.1.1.el5.028stab057.2.img
title CentOS (2.6.18-92.el5)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-92.el5 ro root=LABEL=/
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.18-92.el5.img

I added pci=noacpi at the end of the OpenVZ kernel line and it made no difference.

So, can anybody tell me what am I doing wrong?? Is it the kernel or grub what is failing?

Just in case, the system is a HP DL140 Dual xeon.

Thank you.
