Hi,
JFYI, the commercial product based on OpenVZ - Parallels Cloud Server - does have rebootless kernel update functionality.
http://www.parallels.com/products/pcs/ -> features
http://download.parallels.com/doc/pcs/html/Parallels_Cloud_S erver_Users_Guide/34984.htm
Unlike Ksplice it does not use online kernel patching technology, but basically uses enhanced kexec technology.
It makes vzreboot less fast, but it has it's own important advantage: it just boots the new kernel as a whole, so all features of new kernel will be available (despite of their complexity), all hardware drivers will be updated and so on unlike Ksplice.
(Containers are suspended and stay in the RAM before vzreboot and restored after the vzreboot => ~ no disk activity => very fast)

If your problem is solved - please, report it!
It's even more important than reporting the problem itself...
