I try to do apt-get -f install but it still gives me that error. If it matters i have /boot separately partitioned from / in my filesystem. Any help would be great. THANKS

I would love to see a solution to this as I could not get the fzakernel-2.6.24-amd64 to install either (the fzakernel is nice).

It looks as if you need to either compile a kernel for yourself with the openvz patch (see the openvz web site) or use Ubuntu 8.04 (openvz is supported and working in 8.04 with a simple apt-get). An alternate might be to run Debian or Fedora (openvz is most active with Fedora I believe).

Looks like the nvidia-common package is screwing things up. Try sudo apt-get purge nvidia-common

Then reinstall the openvz kernel. Hope this helps.

I never success install openvz with fza kernel, however succesfully with linux-image-2.6.24-22-openvz_2.6.24-22.44_amd64.deb kernel. But new problem arise, it seem it does not support NVIDIA, i dont know why. Even the module of NVIDIA succefully load. If i want to test OpenVZ, i have to switch to VESA driver everytime.

Hi, Has anyone had any success with this?

I also get the same problem. No luck fixing it though.

I managed to get openvz running on Intrepid i386 with an ATI video card by installing the following packages from Hardy (downloaded manually from packages.ubuntu.com). I guess it should also work for amd64.


linux-headers-2.6.24-23
linux-headers-2.6.24-23-openvz
linux-image-2.6.24-23-openvz

Make sure to install them in this order!
I needed to install the headers to have fglrx also running with this kernel.


(Optional) Then I've added a repo to my sources.list:
deb http://download.openvz.org/debian-systs/ lenny openvz
deb-src http://download.openvz.org/debian-systs/ lenny openvz

This enables you to install templates easily, e.g. for lenny
aptitude install vzctl-ostmpl-debian-5.0-i386-minimal

It will also install/update vzctl and vzquota.
