All of a sudden I'm having problems starting VEs. I'm not sure what changed but here's what I'm seeing,
Warning: distribution not specified default used /etc/vz/dists/default
Starting VE ...
VE is mounted
VE start failed
VE is unmounted
The VEs are 64bit Fedora 8.
What I'm wondering is - how do I get more information to track this down? I haven't rebooted or restarted the VZ process because I have some critical VEs running that I don't want to risk the possibility that they won't restart.

And while we are on topic. Is it possible to see messages from initscripts? How? If not, how do you guys debug initsystems? I have some troubles with openrc (system to manages the services, startup and shutdown of a host) and I'm sure it prints me correct error message but I don't see it...

IMHO ,in general ,each distribution should support logging the init boot process to some file.
With openrc you can set rc_logger="YES" and it should log the init boot output to /var/log/rc.log
(Similar to baselayout-1* with RC_BOOTLOG="yes" in /etc/rc.conf
and app-admin/showconsole installed.)
However it looks like (at least for me) setting rc_logger="YES" does not work with openrc and openvz combination. I'd be glad
if you can check it /var/log/rc.log is created then you set rc_logger="YES in /etc/rc.conf in VE with openrc installed, so that i could report this bug in openrc as a common problem for all openvz+openrc users.
