Hey, When you start the vserver instance, try debug it, you will find when you start the vserver on a tty that it prints information about which upstart-job that is actually the problem. For help to debug look at http://linux-vserver.org/Upstart_issues#Notes_for_debugging. Herbert may have eased up the debug-handling since I last dealt with it, in that case please do fill in.

If you want to run LUCID guests on vserver, you need to take a look at the following pages: http://linux-vserver.org/Upstart_issues http://wiki.raceme.org/dokuwiki/tof:computer:vserver:upstart_ubuntu_lucid You have to disable services not only in "/etc/init.d" (the sysv type) but also in "/etc/init" (the upstart type). I've not been able to get LUCID running successfully on lenny, although I've only tried with the stock 2.6.26 kernel. I do have LUCID guests running on Squeeze, however, with the 2.6.32 kernel (which you are also using), so perhaps you'll have better luck. I'll post another message with my remaining LUCID guest issues. Jeff Jansen
