Hi again (and sorry for creating new top-level threads all the time...but I didn't manage to do it correct until now).
Let me quickly summarize the whole process a little bit more in detail: 1. I created a Mageia 3 template based on their current release 2. I packed it for OpenVZ and created a container using the template 3. Starting the template gives the error "Kernel too old" 4. Trying to manually chroot into the VE directory also gives "Kernel too old" 5. I then tried adding a line in osrelease.conf to fake a newer kernel (mageia-3 3.8.13) 6. Starting the VE with --verbose shows that the osrelease.conf line is applied - but the same error appears: "Kernel too old" I then did some research in the Mageia IRC to get the oldest supported kernel and they advised me to upgrade the "glibc" package to their testing repository as they "downgraded" the kernel requirement there. After this, the template works (also manually chrooting). While this confirms there was a kernel requirement issue, it still seems like a bug to me in vzctl. Why? Because adding the template to osrelease.conf should fix this. I understand that this doesn't fix manually chrooting (as vzctl isn't applied then) - but it should fix the start of the VE through vzctl. You can download the "broken" template here if you'd like to dig deeper: https://www.dropbox.com/s/jnst0lcieaf9neg/mageia-3-x86_64.tar.gz Regards, Michel _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@openvz.org https://lists.openvz.org/mailman/listinfo/users
