Yea, our usage model is a bit different. My kickstart->iso stage is the equivalent of your createrepo/mkisofs stage... So you're right, once you incorporate the vzkernel instead of the stock kernel in that stage, you should be all set.

The vzkernel rpm package provides the "kernel", it should be a drop in replacement (together with other related packages, such as vzkernel-firmware, etc.). I think your .iso -> HN install process should select the vzkernel without any further tweaks.

Btw, for anyone else reading or searching for such information - I use a custom kickstart (with OpenVZ, EPEL, etc. packages added) -> livecd-creator -> .iso -> live-cd-iso-to-disk to create a live usb, which can all be done on the command line. This SL6/OpenVZ live media was then used for demonstration purposes.
