OpenVZ uses its OWN (!) kernel. Stable series of OpenVZ kernel is 2.6.8
linux kernel with OpenVZ specific modifications and bug fixes.
Before installing OpenVZ you can have any 2.6... kernel on your node.
After installing OpenVZ you should boot using OpenVZ kernel (for example
2.6.8-022stab078.14) to use OpenVZ features.

HTH,
Vasily.
