I am trying to install Gnome on an OpenVZ VPS. The last ting that happens when I run 'vzyum 101 install gnome-session' is "Removing : vzdev", which effectifly strips down my 500+ /dev to a meager 4 entries, obviously rendering the system useless. I tried 'vzyum install vzdev', but it complains that I need udev >= 034-2. 'rpm -qa |grep udev' gives me 'udev-039-10.12.EL4'. Now what?

Hardware node is running CentOS 4.3 with 2.6.8-022stab78 kernel, VPS is based on centos-4-i386-default. I have tried both the downloadable template cache and creating my own updated one.

The last lines of output during install:
