Hi

I'm trying to install a OpenSuSE 11.3 System on a Debian lenny hostsystem.

I installed SuSE with yum as explained here:
http://blog.bitfire.at/2008/01/how-to-install-opensuse-103-i586-in.html

Then I changed the vserver.start and init Script as explained in the
vserver Wiki (http://wiki.linux-vserver.org/SuseVserverHowTo#initscripts)

When I try to start the vserver I'm getting the error

-----------
# vserver vs-suse11 start
Usage:  save_ctxinfo <VSERVER_DIR> <cmd> <args>*

An error occured while executing the vserver startup sequence; when
there are no other messages, it is very likely that the init-script
(/etc/rc.d/rc S) failed.

Common causes are:
* /etc/rc.d/rc on Fedora Core 1 and RH9 fails always; the 'apt-rpm' build
  method knows how to deal with this, but on existing installations,
  appending 'true' to this file will help.


Failed to start vserver 'vs-suse11'
-----------

The vserver itself works, as I'm already running two Debian guest systems.

Does someone has an idea or a solution?

Thanks!

Marc.
