At the risk of sounding stupid, I have to ask if this whole problem may be related to having the wrong patch in the kernel-patch-vserver package:
$ ls -l /usr/src/kernel-patches/diffs/vserver/ total 138 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 140270 Apr 29 23:44 patch-2.6.16.11-vs2.0.2-rc18.diff.gz but $ dpkg -l kernel-patch-vserver linux-source-2.6.15 Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-==============-==============-============================================ ii kernel-patch-v 2.0.1-4 context switching virtual private servers - ii linux-source-2 2.6.15-8 Linux kernel source for version 2.6.15 with Why do I think that patch is intended for linux-source-2.6.16? Also, it looks like Nicolas Ledez tried to use teh 2.6.16 patch without success. Maybe this would all go away if we could get a 2.6.16 kernel in etch (while perhaps keeping 2.6.15 there).
