We are currently using util-vserver-0.30.216-1.pre2793.el5.centos.
The repository upgrade would take us to 0.30.216-1.pre2855.el5. That
breaks badly but I do not recall the specific error messages. I do know
the vserver guests refuse to start and I've not pursued it aggressively
as we do plan to upgrade our kernels fairly soon. Thanks - John
