This points to out-of-tree driver. Please call
rpm -qf /lib/modules/2.6.32-754.el6.x86_64/extra/arcmsr/arcmsr.ko
to be sure.
I afraid this driver is not included into original RHEL6 kernel, and was
compiled/installed separately.
RHEL6 kernel is in maintenance mode, they do not add support for new hardware.
OpenVz6 inherit the state from RHEL6, we have no resources for hardware
tesdting/maintenanace.
So you can:
- install out-of-tree driver over our kernel, like you did for original RHEL6
kernel,
(and repeat the procedure after each new kernel update)
- or switch to using OpenVz7, that is based on RHEL7 and inherit support for
new hardware.
- or install OpenVz6 on old hardware.
Thank you,
Vasily Averin
