Hi,
I'm just install openVZ in a Debian 4.0 32 bits.
I configured GRUB and my server run under openVZ kernel (with base of Debian).
This is rhe result of uname -a:

Linux gazzel 2.6.18-12-fza-686 #1 SMP Sun May 18 12:30:42 CEST 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

When I'm trying to create a new VE with the following command, I have this error:

Command:
vzctl create 101 --ostemplate debian-4.0-i386-minimal --config vps.basic

Error:
Unable to open /dev/vzctl: No such file or directory
Please check that vzdev kernel module is loaded and you have sufficient permissions to access the file.

I see the same error on the forum but the kernel wasn't loaded, but for me it is.

Somebody can help me ?

As asked by vzctl, check that vzdev is loaded:

/sbin/lsmod | grep vzdev

Next, check that there is /dev/vzctl file:

ls -l /dev/vzctl

Report your results here Smile
