Hello,

I've installed CentOS 6.6 into a server with HP B120i RAID controller. CentOS 6.6 works perfect with RAID driver.

After that, I installed OpenVZ and rebooted the server. Unfortunately, server gives kernel panic / not syncing error.

It's like:

Tainting kernel with flag 0x9
Pid: 1 comm: init veid: 0 Not tainted 2.6.32-042stab102.9 #1

I also tried with older vzkernel, the results are same.

I tried to copy hpvsa driver files from working CentOS kernel /lib/modules to OpenVZ kernel. It doesn't work either.

I dont want to use software RAID. What can I do for resolving this issue?

You generally can't copy modules to a different kernel. You need to recompile the driver for the kernel that you want to run.

Thanks for your reply.

I thought that copying it may work because both CentOS 6.6 and OpenVZ kernels consists on Linux 2.6.32. Thank you for correcting me.

HP doesn't provide source codes for drivers. So it is impossible to use this raid controllers with OpenVZ, right?

If it's absolute true that I can't use it in anyway with OpenVZ, I want to know.

Have you addressed HP support with the issue?

@bsd did you solved this?
