Exactly this.  Dmitry (ldv) was the first to mention this to me, so I
checked it and saw this is really the case.  See my reply to Dmitry for the
path to the new wiki page I've just created :-)

Actually this was the first one I tried.  On my machine it was hanging on
the message "BIOS check successful".  I'm not sure whether it is a buggy
kernel or buggy machine -- either way, the version I finally piked (see
below) just works.

Anyway, I'd prefer to see the Openwall own version of OpenVZ kernel
published somewhere... hmmm... yes, I'm a very boring person.
