Well I'm running kernel 2.6.22.19-vs2.3.0.34.1 and 
util-vserver-*-0.30.216-1.pre2793.el5.centos.  There is no kernel update 
  available but there is a util-vserver.*-0.30.216-1.pre2855.el5

So now I'm a little concerned about doing an update and should I do some 
hoop-jumping to get a later kernel?
