Hello,

I follow this instruction

http://wiki.openvz.org/Installation_on_Debian

and try to install OpenVZ on Debian Sarge minimal.

I become this message:

"You already have a LILO configuration in /etc/lilo.conf
Install a boot block using the existing /etc/lilo.conf? [Yes] Yes
Testing lilo.conf ...
An error occurred while running lilo in test mode, a log is
available in /var/log/lilo_log.2123. Please edit /etc/lilo.conf
manually and re-run lilo, or make other arrangements to boot
your machine."

In the file /var/log/lilo_log.2123:

"Fatal: open /boot/initrd.img: No such file or directory"

I dont understand what is the problem.

Any idea?

Thank you.

I had the same issue on sarge, if your initrd.img does not exist in /boot or /, create it:

cd /boot
mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-028test015.1+31-ovz 2.6.18-028test015.1+31-ovz

Then link /initrd.img to the correct initrd.img:

ln -s /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-028test015.1+31-ovz /initrd.img

Re-run lilo -v and see if it's okay now..

What bootloader do you use — grub or lilo?

lilo. Does it make the problem?

Did you actually build those modules?

This "MAY" indicate your kernel won't boot, give it a shot, it might as well work..

Make sure your /boot/initrd.img exists and is referenced from lilo correctly.

Execute lilo -v before you boot!

cheers..

Hello,

As far as I understand, you're installing stable OpenVZ kernel, i.e 2.6.9-023stable.... According to the listing of /boot directory, installation was at least partially successfully: kernel is installed. Please, give us also the listing of /lib/modules/2.6.9-023stab040.1-ovz/kernel/kernel directory in order to be sure, that modules are also installed.
One more check, do

# dpkg -l | grep vz

to check that package is installed.

If everything is ok at first step, then let's try to create initrd image. As marked Kristof (aka stoffell), the messages outputted by mkinitrd are OK, because mentioned modules are compiled in kernel. But you should indicate that this is ok to mkinitrd. It should be done by options:

# mkinitrd --builtin=ext2 --builtin=ext3 --builtin=xfs \
--builtin=reiserfs --builtin=raid1 --builtin=3w_xxxx \
--builtin=3w_9xxx --builtin=sata_via --builtin=sata_sil \
--builtin=amd75xx --builtin=sd_mod  -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.9-023stab040.1-ovz 2.6.9-023stab040.1-ovz

Then create a link:

ln -s /boot/initrd.img-2.6.9-023stab040.1-ovz /boot/initrd.img

Then run `lilo -v` to install boot sector.

HTH,
Vasily

Hello,

/boot/initrd.img2.6... exixts
I have changed the path in the lilo manually and referenced to this file + "lilo -v"
Then I could start the openvz.

I did create a vps, but couldn't start. If I start the VE, I become 2 errors.

Adding IP address(es): 192.168.0.101
arpsend: 192.168.0.101 is detected on another computer : xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

And the second error:
"Unable to start init, probably incorrect template."

If I try all the things on my local Debian3.1 there is no problem. Everything works.
But its not working on my internet server.

Thank you
Kutschka.

Please, create a new thread for this error, because the subject changed. In addition to the statement of the problem, add there the following information:

1) OS template you're using for problematic VE
2) `ls -l /vz/private/<veid>/sbin/init` output
3) What you see if you run /vz/private/<veid>/sbin/init manually from the node.

Thanks,
Vasily

P.S. And this thread I'm closing as *SOLVED*.
