 http://linux-vserver.org/Installation_on_CentOS, i got above version. Can
you give some information (link) on manual/yum installation (any need of
patches) of latest stable Linux-VServer kernel. BTW, I am building this to
install planet lab.

     I couldn't get what  you mean manually configuration of interface in
Linux-Vserver kernel. Network configuration details (IP, DNS..) ?  Those are
already configured in centos-5.3, i can see those when i booted
Linux-VServer. It is failed to come into active state and popup with above
error. If something else, Please let me know.
