I managed to make some packages for Ubuntu precise with: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/linux-3.3.5.tar.xz http://vserver.13thfloor.at/Experimental/patch-3.3.5-vs2.3.3.3.diff Patching with patch -p1 < patch-3.3.5-vs2.3.3.3.diff (use --dryrun first to make sure it'll work) Then for the kernel: make-kpkg --rootcmd fakeroot --initrd --append-to-version=-vserver kernel-image kernel-headers kernel-source The downloaded the vserver utils: http://people.linux-vserver.org/%7Edhozac/t/uv-testing/util-vserver-0.30.216-pre3034.tar.bz2 Changing line 24, debian/rules "--with-vrootdir=/home" needs a new home (where to put vservers) dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -F And that was it! Nice set of packages and a new kernel that installed perfectly. I think you need to install fakeroot or some such first, and obviously GCC and friends. I've had no problems with this setup. Hopefully a sage on this list can point out if there is a mistake someplace.
