Yes, we will release a 2.6.16-based kernel Real Soon Now. I have already said that today in OpenVZ blog.

If you have problem with a particular hardware driver (not working, missing, etc.) -- do not hesitate to file a bug report. We are already supporting a lot of new hardware in our stable kernel series (by either backporting stuff and/or taking vendor drivers).

I've been so far unable to boot the kernel with CONFIG_I2O_BLOCK. The 2.6.15 and 2.6.16 kernels boot with dpt_i2o, but get unstable after the node has been running for about a day. I've copied about 100GB of data using rsync without problems, but once the Samba fileserver on the hardware node was running and under regular use the machine got slower and slower until it wasn't usable anymore. No VPS was running at that time, just the VZ modules were loaded. I don't think it's a memory issue, because I trippled the memory from 512MB to 1,5GB and the time until it goes down is the same.
My 2.6.16 kernel config can be found here
I will investigate the problem with 2.6.8 once I get it to boot.
PS: I've been running 2.6.15-025stab014.1 without problems on another Gentoo system using the same build environment. That hardware node is running LAMP in addition to OpenVZ, so it must either be hardware related or related to Samba.
