There is no such thing as "Centos6 OpenVZ kernel". OpenVZ uses a RHEL 6 kernel, these are two different things.

OpenVZ kernel sources come directly from Red Hat and the kernel is fully up to date as of today. So if you are using OpenVZ RHEL 6 kernel, you're using the latest RHEL 6.1 version, not the outdated CentOS 6.0 version.

If anyone has problems with OpenVZ RHEL 6 kernel, please file bugs in the OpenVZ Bugzilla. Waiting for CentOS updates won't make any difference to OpenVZ as they are not connected in any way.


If I steer a bit into an off-topic area: CentOS project is (IMHO) in a bad state right now. It seems to be severely undermanned and poorly managed. Anyone using CentOS 6 in a live environment right now is very courageous (to use a polite term), considering you're not getting any updates at all. But this has nothing to do with OpenVZ.

IMHO, the current recipe for sane sysadmin life seems to be using Scientific Linux 6.x and OpenVZ RHEL 6 kernel. Unless something drastically changes at how CentOS project is run, I wouldn't use it even after/if they catch up with the updates.
