I'm wondering if anyone has made a working Gentoo 2005 or 2005.1 template. I have been working on Gentoo for quite a few days now and have gotten nowhere. If I vzctl start 123 the start up appears normal as if I was using lets say Centos but the VPS does not start. There is nothing in the log file that I can find as an error on the host system. This particular template doesn't have system log installed as of yet. How do I find out why the VPS is not starting? If anyone has a working template please tell me any information that might be pertinent.

EDIT: I have two gentoo templates I am working on. I just checked the other template and there is an error!! it is as follows:

2005-12-21T12:05:01-0600 venetclean : VPS 101 : VPS died, clear ips: 72.23$

Where do I go from here?

I have tried the vserver template and a Xen template and a UML template and starting from scratch with stages and portage. I can not seem to get networking up and running. I have spent more hours than I wish to admit trying to get a template up and running, I'm open to any information which might assist me in getting this template finalized. The other problem is that env-update has to be done each time I enter the VPS. It doesn't seem to save.

Hi,

the gentoo-network scripts net.lo seems to be broken. Instead of linking net.venet0 to net.lo I use the attached script (change appropriate). Then my networking is fine.

BTW, how do I bind-mount something into the VPS, e.g. /usr/portage of the host to the VPS

You Sir are a gentleman and a scholar Very Happy
This is the closest I have gotten so far. I can ping outside IP addresses but emerge for incoming traffic doesn't seem to function. my ifconfig is as follows:

localhost / # /sbin/ifconfig -a
Warning: cannot open /proc/net/dev (No such file or directory). Limited output.
Warning: cannot open /proc/net/dev (No such file or directory). Limited output.
venet0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 07-40-00-6A-12-40-80-70-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00

Any Idea how to solve the cannot open /proc/net/dev error??

Thanks so much for your assistance so far.

*EDIT* As a side note I can ping the guest IP from the outside world

*EDIT* In my haste I neglected to make or copy a resolv.conf to /etc After doing that I can reach the outside world. I would still like to fix the error though.

Just mount /proc inside the VPS:

mount -t proc none /proc

Thanks wimalopaan, that solved that problem Very Happy Now for the next one!

My Gentoo Template seems to be working fine except for if I type "reboot" The vps shuts down fine but never comes back up. I tried manually running the reboot cron job and it still did not start. I created a CentOS guest and rebooted that vps and it did come back up so It's not a problem with the cron job. There must be something which has to be added to the gentoo template or the gentoo scripts in /etc/sysconfig/vz-scripts/dists/scripts

Anyone have any suggestions?

I gave that a shot, but when I try to enter the VE, It kicks out this error:

[root@vz-test template]# vzctl enter 1001
Unable to open pty: No such file or directory
enter failed

Seen that yet?

Create the pty or any such device by the following:

cd /vz/root/111/dev; /vz/root/111/sbin/MAKEDEV pty

For some reason swsoft told me to try and create it that way instead of through /vz/private/111.

Good Luck

That makes sense, but I'm not sure about running it on the host machine, shouldn't we try this through vzctl exec?

That worked. Here's what I ran:

vzctl exec 1001 "cd /dev; /sbin/MAKEDEV pty"


[root@vz-test root]# vzctl exec 1001 "cd /dev; /sbin/MAKEDEV pty"
/sbin/MAKEDEV: warning: can't read /proc/devices
/sbin/MAKEDEV: warning: can't read /proc/devices
[root@vz-test root]# vz enter 1001
entered into VPS 1001
localhost / #
localhost / #
localhost / #


Thanks Smile Now on to figuring out this networking issue!

Look up in this post, wimalopaan, attached an attachment which worked very well. Just replace the 192... IP with your vps IP. Then do "rc-update add net.venet0 default" to have the script start at boot

Good Luck!
