When I try to enter my VPS, I get the following error:

# vzctl enter 101
enter into VE 101 failed
Unable to open pty: No such file or directory


I found a website regarding this problem, which is here:
http://platonic.techfiz.info/2008/10/08/unable-to-open-pty-n o-such-file-or-directory/

Unfortunaly, the fixes there do not work.
MAKEDEV returns the following:
/sbin/MAKEDEV: warning: can't read /proc/devices
/sbin/MAKEDEV: warning: can't read /proc/devices


And creates a few hunderd files in the root of the VPS.
The permanent fix explained there won't work either, none of the files mentioned exist on my system:
/etc/rc.sysinit 
/sbin/start_udev


The only fix I found is rebooting it everytime, but this is a live server and it can't continue like this.
There are other containers running just fine without this problem, so I have no idea what to do.
