[BlueOnyx:26705] Re: Aventurin{e} 6109R: Issues after YUM update - Hotfix available

[Taco Scargo]

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the fix and release.
On a separate note, have you ever looked at creating an OpenVZ 9 based Aventurin{e} to make use of the RHEL9 version of the OpenVZ kernel?
This would obviously allow 5211R to run as VZs.

Best regards,

Taco
