Any kind soul out there please assist me. Thank you!

Have you rebooted into the new kernel yet?

EDIT: remove this line from your grub.conf

default=0

but i thought default = 0 will boot into the 1st segment/sentence which is set as OpenVZ?

To add on, after rebooting.

I can't issue "shutdown -r now" command now. Is this normal?

As per what i said, remove the line i quoted earlier then issue;

reboot

As per what i said, remove the line i quoted earlier then issue;

reboot

Hi,

I have done the configuration as per stated by you. Did a physical reboot of the server. The problem still persists.

After which I try setting it as "default = 1" where it should be my CentOS 4.3 kernel.

I still can't get VZ to start. Anyone can clear my doubts?
