I had Kernel oops every (3) time, when reconfiguring properties of eth3,
mapped
to a container by vzctl --netdev_add. The kernel oops leads to blocking the
entire machine from inputs. In two cases I managed to issue "sync && halt",
which finally failed when init tries to bring down the containers. It
reiterates a whole night trying - before I pushed the reset button.
See the following links for more details:

http://forum.openvz.org/index.php?t=tree&&th=7031&goto=34209#msg_34209
I had brief communication with the openvz developers and he came to the
following conclusion:
I looked into debian 2.6.26-11 and 2.6.26-12 and found that both these
kernels
don't have fix commits:
9baf6095c98f930e02769b09addbd4b5f18772d5
35f41f111afc1a9f024153ac43d8d829a894fb2b
The openvz changelogs report major changes to the functions listed in
the logs which have caused the oops. So whether or not the bug is
actually related to that changes, it might be a good idea to include
these fixes to either fix the bug or at least stay aligned with the
openvz team concerning a buggy code.
Due to a hardware failure I only have a critical production server for
testing. If that server fails, you won't hear, since it'd put me offline
entirely. ;) I'll not be able to do any testing with reasonable effort
before the systems boots without manually starting the services, which
will be when all services are in place - hopefully sometime within my
new years holidays. (Reportbug just failed, since I had no SMTP rule in
iptables so far).
Provoking the error (what's been common to all 3 incidents):
- create a lenny openvz container
- add a physical interface using --netdev_add
- run the container
- re-configure any settings of the physical interface from inside the
container
- restart the container
The system crashes when bringing down the container and the entire
accessibilty creeps away after the oops. Issuing sync on the console
immediately after the oops worked and a shutdown sequence proceeded up
to the point where the containers are brought down.
To complete the information - this is the dump sent to the openvz crew,
which is not on the net:
