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.
Jaunty
Jaunty ships with kernel version 2.6.28. As of now (28.3.2009) there are only experimental patches available for this kernel version.
I have adapted version 2.3.0.36.9 of the vserver patch to the Jaunty kernel sources. These images should be considered experimental.
Packages
The following packages are available for i386 and amd64:
- linux-headers-2.6.28-11-vserver
- linux-headers-vserver
- linux-image-2.6.28-11-vserver
- linux-image-vserver
- linux-restricted-modules-2.6.28-11-vserver
- linux-restricted-modules-vserver
- linux-vserver
Known Limitations
- linux-image
- CONFIG_AUFS has been disabled
- 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:
dmks remove -m <modulename> -v <moduleversion> -k 2.6.28-11-vserver dmks build -m <modulename> -v <moduleversion> -k 2.6.28-11-vserver dmks install -m <modulename> -v <moduleversion> -k 2.6.28-11-vserver
Repository
You can add the following key to your apt keyring:
sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com BB9BFB5B
Add the following line to your sources.list:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/christoph-lukas/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/christoph-lukas/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
Installation
aptitude update aptitude install linux-image-vserver linux-headers-vserver util-vserver
Intrepid
Intrepid ships with kernel version 2.6.27. As of now (28.3.2009) there are only experimental patches available for this kernel version.
I have adapted version 2.3.0.36.4 of the vserver patch to the Intrepid kernel sources. These images should be considered 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.
Packages
The following packages are available for i386 and amd64:
- linux-headers-2.6.27-11-vserver
- linux-headers-vserver
- linux-image-2.6.27-11-vserver
- linux-image-vserver
- linux-restricted-modules-2.6.27-11-vserver
- linux-vserver
- util-vserver
Known Limitations
- linux-image
- CONFIG_AUFS has been disabled
Repository

Installation
aptitude update aptitude install linux-image-vserver linux-headers-vserver util-vserver
Hardy
Hardy ships with kernel version 2.6.24 which is not officially supported by Linux-VServer due to the major changes made in this kernel version.
Nevertheless I have adapted version 2.0.0.5.0.7 of the vserver patch to the Hardy kernel sources. We have run those patched kernels for about a year now without any problems on our desktop systems.
Packages
The following packages are available for i386 and amd64:
- linux-headers-2.6.24-23-vserver
- linux-headers-lum-2.6.24-23-vserver

- linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-23-vserver
- linux-vserver
Known Limitations
- linux-image
- CONFIG_OCFS2_FS has been disabled
- linux-ubuntu-modules
- CONFIG_AUFS, CONFIG_GFS_FS, CONFIG_SQUASHFS, CONFIG_DMRAID45 have been disabled
