Thanks for the reply Thorsten.
You could say I downloaded a precompiled kernel-image because that is what "aptitude install ovzkernel-2.6.9" does, doesn't it? As I explained to Vasily, I followed the instructions "Installation on Debian" on wiki.openvz.org (see http://wiki.openvz.org/Installation_on_Debian). That makes it even more frustrating, because there is hardly anything one can do wrong.
Don't be fooled by the info I posted earlier. That info was obtained from my system with a fresh Debian install, so without the OpenVZ kernel installed. After I installed the above mentioned kernel, my /boot/grub/menu.lst looks like this:
title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.9-023stab037.3-ovz
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.9-023stab037.3-ovz root=/dev/sda2 ro
savedefault
boot
title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.9-023stab037.3-ovz (recovery mode)
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.9-023stab037.3-ovz root=/dev/sda2 ro single
savedefault
boot
title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.8-2-386
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8-2-386 root=/dev/sda2 ro
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.8-2-386
savedefault
boot
title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.8-2-386 (recovery mode)
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8-2-386 root=/dev/sda2 ro single
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.8-2-386
savedefault
boot
As you can see, I did not boot a standard Debian Kernel but a custom (precompield) OpenVZ kernel which I obtained from the Debian stable repository.
So, still no solution for my problem:( Any help is welcome and all efforts are enormously appreciated.
Regards,
Pieter-Jan de Vries
