Downgrading OpenVZ kernel possible?

[Giovanni]

If you wanted to downgrade the proxmox VE kernel to an older version that supports jailed hard-cpu limits, can it be done?

Any tips or should be easy?

Also, does the Proxmox VE work with an OpenVZ kernel at boot and qemu is just a script/program that basically is installed on the machine rather than being a kernel?

Thanks

no, not supported.

you need a Proxmox VE Kernel (with KVM) and the packages to get a running system. (not sure if I understand you question correctly)

If you only want to use OpenVZ you do not need the KVM Kernel components. All tools/packages are optimized and patched so if you load a 2.6.18 Kernel you will run into a lot of issues.
