Re: [Users] Debian - Odd, hopefully minor, machine name / prompt issue

2007-09-15 Thread Ola Lundqvist
Hi Jim

You simply write a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
In the begiggning of the mail, before anything else, you write:

Package: kernel-patch-openvz
Severity: important

And then you describe the fault. It is as simple as that. :)

See above.

Not good. Please file a separate bug about that. I would like to know what
you did when the kernel crashed, so I can debug the problem further.

That would be good.

With the above explanation I assume that you can write one on your own. :)

In the meantime I have looked through the VZ patch and have not found
anything obvious that explains your hostname problem. It seems like all the
places where system_utsname has really been replaced with utsname() and
the utsname() function is identical with the original vz patch.

So it is likely something else. However the patch is huge so I may have
made a couple of mistakes.

Best regards,

[Users] Problem with patch by openvz, where should I report that?

The patch is: core-dumping unreadable binaries via PT_INTERP
it's described as:

and when applied to 2.6.18 ovz028stab039.1, it stops my kernels
from booting ( they fail to find root filesystem in initrd and
hang there waiting for it to appear ).
 Where do I report it ( or maybe how can I check if this has been
fixed in the meantime? )

Re: [Users] Error after install a new kernel and reboot

2007-09-15 Thread Kir Kolyshkin
Can you file a bug to bugzilla.openvz.org, including that screenshot,
you .config, and specifying the exact version of the kernel you tried
(say, in terms of what was the latest changeset)?

Re: [Users] Physical server to OpenVZ

2007-09-15 Thread Kir Kolyshkin
P2V migration is described in http://wiki.openvz.org/Physical_to_VE,
that involves some manual tuning.

V2P is also possible but don't make much sense to me -- it's way better
to use VE than a real server.
