yes, i'm using similar solution i'm using kernel 2.4.31+vserver1.2.10 on many machines ... so i switched to 2.6.x a few weeks ago on two production machines ... but 2.6 kernel and still many changes on vanilla isn't good for me ... so i decided to use some 'distribution' kernel ... and Ubuntu Dapper will be supported for 5 years !!! > As a matter of interest, how do you use the ubuntu kernels with vserver > patches on your sarge box?

Get the updated kernel source > release and patch and rebuild? i'm just testing 2.6.15-19.27 from ubuntu.uni-klu.ac.at ... look at my mini howto in my previous mail ... sources from ubuntu, but recompiled on sarge ... vanilla 2.6.15.6 + vserver working fine too, but i want kernel with no big changes ... and dapper will be official at 2006-06-01 ... i welcome some cooperation from experienced users with supporting ubuntu dapper kernel with stable vserver 2.0.x patch ... no new features, just updated patch every time dapper kernel changes - like vserver 1.2.10 and vanilla kernel 2.4 so who can support dapper vserver kernel?
