Just thought I'd offer a bit of feedback about vserver on my Proliant
DL380 G3.

I needed a kernel more recent than 2.6.22.19, so have had to delve into
the experimental patches.  I patched vanilla 2.6.29.6 with
vs2.3.0.36.14-grsec2.1.14-20090709 but the kernel would not boot for
me.  The problem was some type of in-distinct kernel crash. 

I patched vanilla 2.6.31.6 with vs2.3.0.36.24-grsec2.1.14-20091116 and
was able to boot successfully.  / is on an unencrypted lvm2 logical
volume.  Guests are on AES-encrypted logical volumes.

Everything is working here with the above combination and the hardened
profile:
# eselect profile list | grep hard
  [5]   hardened/linux/x86/10.0 *
# gcc-config -l            
 [1] i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.3.4 *

Gentoo and Vserver seem to be a terrific fit.  Next I'll tighten things
up a bit with grsecurity.

Excellent work.
