Exactly this. Dmitry (ldv) was the first to mention this to me, so I
checked it and saw this is really the case. See my reply to Dmitry for the
path to the new wiki page I've just created :-)

Actually this was the first one I tried. On my machine it was hanging on
the message "BIOS check successful". I'm not sure whether it is a buggy
kernel or buggy machine -- either way, the version I finally piked (see

Anyway, I'd prefer to see the Openwall own version of OpenVZ kernel
published somewhere... hmmm... yes, I'm a very boring person.
