[edit] Disclaimer

If you are running a system in production you should probably consider building your own kernel based on the vanilla kernel source as described here: Installation_on_Linux_2.6

The binary kernel images provided here are neither official ubuntu nor official Linux-VServer kernel images.

If you have any problems with those kernels please send a mail to the VServer mailinglist and please do not file any bugs on the ubuntu bugtracker.

If you are interested in a different kernel config or have prepared a patch for newer kernels, do not hesitate to contact the VServer mailinglist.

  • linux-headers
    • Up to version 2.6.28-11.42~ppa1 the linux-headers package was broken which broke external modules built manually or via dkms (nvidia, virtualbox). If you are experiencing problems with one of those modules please update to the latest package version and rebuild the modules. For modules built via dkms this can be done with:

[edit] Intrepid

Kernel Version: 2.6.27

Vserver patch: 2.3.0.36.4

Status: experimental

The util-vserver package from intrepid seems to be broken (see: Ubuntu Bug), therefore I have rebuild the jaunty version for intrepid. This version ships with unstripped binaries due to another Ubuntu Bug.
