LXC - CentOS running within Ubuntu not recognizing sctp.ko is loaded. [message #89203]

Hi,

I have CentOS 5.6 running as a container with Ubuntu.

Kernel: 2.6.38-11-generic

I have sctp.ko loaded from the host and I have the lksctp tools installed on CentOS. (version 1.0.6).

When I try to create an SCTP socket (IPv4) I get the error code 97 - address family not supported by this protocol.

I can create an IPv6 SCTP socket.

Also when I run netstat within CentOS I get the following:

netstat: no support for `AF INET (sctp)' on this system.

From a search on the web this error is due to the fact the SCTP kernel object is not installed. I have confirmed it is installed via lsmod.

I have tried copying the relative kernel files to my CentOS installation and doing the modproble from there rather than from the host but didnt have any success.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Dave.

So you are booting to the Ubuntu kernel? I guess you are using pygrub or pvgrub to do so... Can you confirm?

No, apparently he installed CentOS in an Ubuntu server using LXC (http://lxc.sourceforge.net/). Think OpenVZ.

This is in no way related to HyperVM, Xen or OpenVZ and I'm moving it to another forum. OP should consider other venues.
