Hello, I want to use OpenVZ on my Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty platform. I installed the RHEL6 2.6.32 kernel (vzkernel_2.6.32-042stab093.5_amd64 kernel) following the instructions given in http://www.howtoforge.com/installing-and-using-openvz-on-ubuntu-13.04-amd64 When the machine is booted with the vzkernel_2.6.32, I get the following error: "Kernel panic - not sysncing: Fatal exception" and the boot freezes. However, I can interrupt the booting and select the original Ubuntu kernel and the machine boots fine. Please see the attached screen shots. http://imgur.com/7Veclg7 http://imgur.com/5VjBZUj Hardware: Dell PowerEdge T105 (quad core cpu, 8 GB RAM) OS: Ubuntu 14:04 (Trusty) 64-bit uname -r: 3.13.0-39-generic I have installed the following components for the OpenVZ: ploop-1.12.1-1.x86_64.rpm vzctl-core-4.8-1.x86_64.rpm ploop-lib-1.12.1-1.x86_64.rpm vzkernel-2.6.32-042stab093.5.x86_64.rpm vzctl-4.8-1.x86_64.rpm vzquota-3.1-1.x86_64.rpm I used the following steps for the installation: Code: $ sudo dpkg -i vz*.deb ploop*.deb $ sudo vim /etc/default/grub $ sudo update-grub $ sudo update-rc.d vz defaults $ sudo update-rc.d vzeventd defaults $ sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libvzctl-4.8.so /usr/lib $ sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libploop.so.1.12.1 /usr/lib $ sudo vi /etc/init.d/vz Added the following: $ sudo vi /etc/sysctl.conf [...] net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter=1 net.ipv4.icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts=1 net.ipv4.conf.default.forwarding=1 net.ipv4.conf.default.proxy_arp = 0 net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 kernel.sysrq = 1 net.ipv4.conf.default.send_redirects = 1 net.ipv4.conf.all.send_redirects = 0 net.ipv4.conf.eth0.proxy_arp=1 [...] $ sudo sysctl -p $ sudo apt-get install vzdump Any help in fixing this is greatly appreciated.
