Hello,

I'm fairly new to openvz and love it so far. I've got a Fedora 9 HN and am using the2.6.24-ovz005.1 kernel. I've successfully set up FC4 and Fedora 8 VEs that work great.

Problem is when I've tried Fedora 9 VEs. I've tried several that I've found in the contrib section and elsewhere on the net, and the most common problem is that I can't make networking start inside the VE. Works fine under the FC4 and Fedora 8 systems.

I decided to focus on the fedora-9-i386-default-20080913 template from the contrib folder on the OpenVZ FTP server.

When I enter the VE, networking isn't running:

[root@wolverine /]# ifconfig lo
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
LOOPBACK MTU:16436 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)

[root@wolverine /]# ifconfig venet0
venet0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00
-00
BROADCAST POINTOPOINT NOARP MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)

So, I try to start networking manually:

[root@wolverine /]# service network start
Bringing up loopback interface: Error, some other host already uses address 127
.0.0.1.
[FAILED]
Bringing up interface venet0: Error, some other host already uses address 127.0

I saw some similar problems in other forum posts, but they all came down to /proc being mounted incorrectly or other device files not actually existing or being device files. I checked all of that to the best of my ability, and it all looks sane to me.

Any suggestions? I'd much prefer to go with Fedora 9 than Fedora 8.

Thanks,
Keith
