Hello list,

Last night I did a "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade" on my host and several vps systems.

Several security updates where downloaded and installed.
Since then no vps is starting anymore.

The error messages I receive are:
-----------------------

-----------------------

I did a clean (debian 3.1) installation on the host system but the problems stil the same.
Please help!

Looks like vznetdev module is not loaded (check it with "lsmod | grep vz" command). You can load it manually ("modprobe vznetdev") and then check that /etc/init.d/vz script actually loads that module.

Hello Kir,

When I do "lsmod | grep vz" vznetdev seems not loaded.
Then I do "modprobe vznetdev" like you said.
That seems to change things but stil no vps can be started.

The error msg I get now is this:
-------------------
:~# vzctl start 101
Starting VE ...
VE is mounted
Adding IP address(es): 192.168.166.5
RTNETLINK answers: No such device
vps-net_add ERROR: Unable to add route /sbin/ip route add 192.168.166.5 dev venet0
VE start failed
Stopping VE ...
VE was stopped
VE is unmounted
-------------------

Do you have another hint?

Hello Kir,

I just did another "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade" because I just had this feeling Smile

There was a new Vzctl package, after it was installed everything works again, thank god haha

My heart rate is going down again and I stopped sweating Wink

Thank you for your help!
