Hi,

i was trying to create a minimal server using ubuntu hardy appliance
- downloaded appliance (http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Ubuntu_Hardy_Standard)
- setup the openvz vm

once i clicked 'create' on the web gui i got an error:

Code:
/usr/bin/pvectl vzcreate 118 --disk 2 --ostemplate local:vztmpl/ubuntu-8.04-standard_8.04-3_i386.tar.gz --rootpasswd .....  --hostname ..... --nameserver ..... --nameserver ..... --searchdomain ..... --onboot no --ipset 127.0.0.1 --swap 512 --mem 512 --cpus 1
unable to create VE 118: command 'vzctl create 118 --ostemplate ubuntu-8.04-standard_8.04-3_i386 --config pve.auto' failed with exit code 5:
Unable to open /dev/vzctl: No such file or directory
Please check that vzdev kernel module is loaded and you have sufficient permissions to access the file.

unable to apply VM settings -
i'm using pve 1.5 with kernel 2.6.18, so openvz should work i think...

also checked

Code:
#/etc/init.d/vz status
..done

and 

#/etc/init.d/vz restart
Stopping OpenVZ: ..done
..done
here is pveversion -v output

Code:
pve-manager/1.5/4660
dadmin@debian:~$ pveversion -v
pve-manager: 1.5-7 (pve-manager/1.5/4660)

What am i missing?

Sorry, i just realized the running kernel is
2.6.26-2-amd64

this is a debian lenny based pve tst system, i think in the last days someone "updated" lenny and rebooted, and that changed the default kernel in grub....
