Hi,

I've installed openvz several times with no problems (usually with
CentOS 4 as the base system)

However on a new remote install I'm having problems.

The base system is (real) Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4
(Nahant Update 1)

The system boots into the kernel but then I cannot connect. I can ping
the system but no ssh connection. If I boot back to the regular kernal
I can ssh in.

The only messages on the screen are:

"Init spawning too fast"

and

"Watchdog, No such file or directory"

Any ideas of what might be wrong?

Thanks!

Also, here is the grub.conf

title openvz (2.6.8-022stab077.1)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.8-022stab077.1 ro root=LABEL=/ selinux=0
initrd /initrd-2.6.8-022stab077.1.img
title Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES (2.6.9-11.EL)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-11.EL ro root=LABEL=/ selinux=0
initrd /initrd-2.6.9-11.EL.img


I believe it is booting fine as I can ping it. Just cannot connect to
ssh. I'm not sure what the status of selinux is on the host. I assume
it is not running (the selinux=0)

I've also tried removing the selinux=0 section (per the openvz.org
install instructions to remove all extra kernal params. No luck.

also, if it matters, the system seems to have some ipv6 stuff enabled.
ssh sees the ip as a ipv6-ish ip:

ip=::ffff:192.168.1.100

(the ip is an example only - in real life it is routable).

This normally means that an entry in /etc/inittab with 'respawn' action
exits too quickly. Mind posting your /etc/inittab?

Where is this line from? I don't remember off the top of my head any
config file in RHEL4 with this syntax...

Try to look at /var/log/messages and /var/log/secure.

This ip is special, called mapped. IPv6-enabled apps mark IPv4 addresses this
way.
