ok - I'll try to package an ubuntu kernel with the vserver devel
patch also.
But I'm not able to upgrade the Ubuntu kernel with all Ubuntu
patches to 2.6.16 - I've to stick with the Ubuntu provided
2.6.15.6 kernel.
This leads back to the starting point of the thread. I need
vserver patches for vanilla kernel 2.6.15.6
I'll then provide the diffs to get the vanilla vserver patch
to compile and hopefully work on Ubuntu and create an Ubuntu
archive for easy installation/testing of the resulting debs.
