Hi vasily,

Thanks very much for your reply. I figured it had something to do with a missing driver of some sort, but I can not figure out which one and/or how to add that missing driver.

Actually I just started with a fresh Debian install in an attempt to build my own kernel, so the information you requested does not show the details of the OpenVZ kernel. If you need that as well, please let me know and I'll redo my previous installation to supply you with the missing pieces.

This is the information you asked for:

ls -l /boot:

I hope you can figure out what the problem is. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do or information I can supply. I have been struggeling with this problem for so many days now, so I hope to hear from you soon again. Thanks for the effort anyway.


Regards,

Pieter-Jan de Vries
