Please paste what it shows up when you type in this command via SSH: cat /etc/grub.conf

And please paste what it says when you type: uname -a Remember the OpenVZ kernel always has the word "stab" in it.

You're not booted into the OpenVZ kernel. Try altering some settings in grub.conf to make it boot into the OpenVZ kernel

Just reboot your server into VPS kernel

Uh... he has bigger problems then that. That grub.conf is from debian, but the kernel he is running is rhel5/centos5. Can you paste us the output from the REAL grub.conf located here: /boot/grub/grub.conf. the one in /etc is a symlink, but sometimes it becomes unlinked and replaced.

It downloads the default kernel for the server instead of the ovz kernel. You should add "kernel*" within the "exclude" statement inside /etc/yum.conf to prevent this.
