Wait, so you are saying that it is possible to get a Centos7 guest installed and working?  This is on a Centos6 host.

I have searched far and wide trying to get it to work.  linux-vserver.org has something on getting Centos6 but not Centos7.  I managed to get a Centos6 guest installed awhile back with a custom CentOS-Base.repo in /usr/share/util-vserver/distributions/centos6/yum.repos.d and then running:

vserver myvserver build -m yum      --hostname myvserver.domain.at --interface eth0:192.168.1.93/24 -- -d centos6

I used the same technique to try it for Centos7, but I get "Error unpacking rpm package filesystem-3.2-20.el7.x86_64".   I figured that might have something to do with systemd.   When running the build command I get the "You are using a version of yum which is insecure and broken in chroot" message.  I figured it was worth a try doing the yum patch but the patch links at http://linux-vserver.org/Yum-patch are broken.

The /usr/share/util-vserver/distributions/centos7/CentOS-Base.repo I am trying for installing a Centos7 guest consists of:

[base]
name=CentOS-7 - Base
baseurl=http://mirrors.tripadvisor.com/centos/7/os/x86_64/
gpgcheck=0
