Well, you may try with Owl 3.

Like I tried to explain above, WenEnabled VPSes are in fact a mix of
Owl 2, extra software, and Owl 3 kernel on the host. When you look from
the inside, you obviously don't see a kernel (any), because OpenVZ uses
a shared kernel for the entire machine.
What you're doing is different - you actually have a kernel inside of
your own VM - and you'd need it to be an Owl 3 kernel in order to have
any chance of the VirtualBox extra kernel modules working (if I
understood correctly).

OK. FYI, at WebEnabled only the Owl-based systems are Dashboard-linked.
You might get an Ubuntu or a CentOS instead, but it won't be linked.
Anyhow, this is getting off-topic for owl-users.
