Tried several different iterations/variations all ending up with a 
kernel oops/panic/whatever.

Did a new install of CentOS 5.0, tried some slimming down then went for 
the new kernel.  Semi-worked.  Had to reinstall several packages to get 
  mkinitrd to install.

I have, what appears to be, a working Linux-Vserver host.  I'm chasing 
down a few tuits so I can build some guests and see how badly I broke 
stuff by slimming down the install.

Already missing vim so that is on the top of the list.
