Installation on Ubuntu
From Linux-VServer
Contents |
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

Known Limitations

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.

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.
