Hi,

With the recent discussions about upgrading vserver to a more recent
kernel than 2.6.22, I could not help but notice that the debian folks
seems to have already done it?

I am running Debian Lenny and it seems that they ported the 2.3
development patch of vserver to the 2.6.25 kernel.

Looking at the linux-image source package (version 2.6.25-7), the
vserver patch is named "vs2.3.0.34.11.patch".. Although there is no such
patch available for 2.6.25 on the linux-vserver.org website.

I could not find much more details... If someone involved with the
debian package could explain to me how they did it and if it is stable,
that would be great. 

Has anybody else tried this patch? It seems to work fine for me:
