Unable to assign IP(s) [message #37628]

As the subject states, I'm unable to assign IP adresses to my container after a (container only) reboot. It was working perfectly fine before that, so I'm very much lost on what could be causing it.

When the VE starts it states that it actually IS assigning IPs, but in reality it is not. (Not even the the local loopback device.)

Some output:

Start;

Starting VE ...
VE is mounted
Adding IP address(es): 1.2.3.4 5.6.7.8
Setting CPU units: 1000
Setting devices
Configure meminfo: 1575562
Set hostname: obfuscated.tld
File resolv.conf was modified
VE start in progress...

Connectivity bit in my container's config;

IP_ADDRESS="1.2.3.4 5.6.7.8"
HOSTNAME="obfuscated.tld"
VE_ROOT="/openvz/merlin/mount"
VE_PRIVATE="/openvz/merlin/root"
OSTEMPLATE="ubuntu-8.04-amd64-minimal"
ORIGIN_SAMPLE="vps.basic"
NAMESERVER="9.10.11.12"
NAME="merlin"
CAPABILITY="CHOWN:on DAC_READ_SEARCH:on SETGID:on SETUID:on NET_BIND_SERVICE:on NET_ADMIN:on SYS_CHROOT:on SYS_NICE:on "
DEVICES="c:10:200:rw "
IPTABLES="iptable_nat"

As you can see a venet0:0 device isn't created either.

Removing it and adding it while running has no effect either.

Any help is greatly appreciated, the machine actually handles most of my stuff. Sad
