I'm new to OpenVZ. Would appreciate some help.

I installed the 2.6.8-022stab078.14 RPM on a fresh install of CentOS 4.3 and got the following message:

WARNING: No module sata_sil found for kernel 2.6.8-022stab078.14, continuing anyway

A quick search of this forum revealed advice to ignore such messages so I went ahead and rebooted (after editing sysctl.conf), but the server failed to start up.

Unfortunately this is on a remote server and it's hard to get information out of the data center tech. All he told me was that the server stopped responding at: " ata1(0): applying Seagate errata fix". Don't know if it would help, but I'm attaching the dmesg output for the default CentOS kernel, the 2nd one in the grub.conf below, which starts up okay.

Below are the contents of my grub.conf and sysctl.conf. Let me know if there is any other info I can post that would make the problem easier to solve.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Okay, I tried this on another machine which is identical except for the fact that the drive is IDE instead of SATA and installation went without a hitch.

So I guess it's the SATA drive that was causing the problem.

Kernels inside RPM are compiled using config with
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_SATA off...
So to get OpenVZ working on mashine in question
you can compile kernel yourself with
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_SATA switched on.

Okay, thanks.

I've already switched machines, but that's good to know for future reference.
