Support Above And Beyond
I mentioned on SoftLayer's forums that OpenVZ wasn't working with the new Nehalem server. SoftLayer don't support OpenVZ; it's a custom kernel that I downloaded and installed myself. If you need virtualisation and support, they offer Citrix XenServer, Virtuozzo, and Microsoft's Hyper-V.
Which is fine. I was hoping to do it myself with OpenVZ. I couldn't get it to work because OpenVZ doesn't support the new network controllers and needed support. SoftLayer don't support OpenVZ, so I asked them to sell me Virtuozzo.
What they did was deploy a test server with the same configuration as mine and assign an engineer to getting OpenVZ running. For free. That's awesome.

That's pretty amazing service.

It is.
Turns out that Virtuozzo doesn't work either - same problem - so they have to find a solution anyway. But they didn't know that until they went trying to fix my problem for me.

Hardly a surprise, Virtuozzo and OpenVZ are exactly the same thing.
I ran Ani-nouto on OpenVZ based on 2.6.26 and 2.6.27 for a while. There were issues with crashes, and Parallels dragged their feet on resolving them. It seems that the best course of action would be to take the driver from RHEL 5 and retrofit it into whatever 2.6.18 OVZ has.

I think the best course of action for Pixy right now is to be patient and see what SoftLayer comes up with.

Yep. I expect that's what SoftLayer are doing now.
I thought that maybe Virtuozzo would have a more recently updated kernel that mightn't have made it to OpenVZ just yet... But then, they'd have to release it, wouldn't they?
Oh well. Let's see what happens.
