Try 2.6.32.13-vs2.3.0.36.29.4 (Oh, well it has just been updated to
2.6.32.14)  I used this recently and it worked well. But I don't know if
this is stable as it is listed under experimental. As for as util-vserver
goes, use this one :

Thanks,

  Ok. I never installed kernel manually. I checked below link.
 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.

   Yes,  nic MAC is same in both kernels.
