Hi, when I started using VZ, I wondered about this same thing. Two VEs of different distributions share the same kernel. OpenVZ VEs are less of a "virtual server" and more of an individual and separated resource container.

Any special modifications to the kernel performed by Suse will not be available in your VE. However this hasn't proven to be a problem thus far from my usage. OpenVZ has a kernel based on the redhat modified kernel although this doesn't sound like what you are looking for.

The configuration you refer to in your second question, is that the dual boot config? I don't see how that could matter, as dual boot is essentially two computers but one turned on at a time.

Not sure about the cpu question, I only use i386 and x64_86.
