Hi there,

I'm having some trouble with my Gentoo OpenVZ container. I wanted to 
install the new baselayout2 version, so I could ditch 
baselayout-vserver. But now when I start the container, the 'init boot' 
process takes all CPU power but doesn't continue the booting process. Is 
there anybody running the new baselayout inside an OpenVZ container? 
I've tested inside a Virtuozzo container, and that worked perfectly fine.

Thanks,
Arjan

I had no luck getting baselayout-2 running with Openvz.  I did have luck with 
taking a regular stage 3, un-taring and chrooting into it, unmerging udev and 
creating static nodes under /dev for null, zero, console, ptmx, pytp0, ... and 
then re-taring it back into a openvz template.  So far it is working beautifully.

I don't understand why Gentoo releases separate openvz and vserver stages when 
a small script can convert a regular stage 3?

It works absolutely fine for me. Although I mirrored the container
from a running gentoo system using rsync.

Inside the container:
 # emerge --info

Hi John,

Thank you for your feedback. Because it works for you, I've started 
looking at it again, and I have finally found the issue.
I was previously using baselayout-vserver on my Gentoo containers. When 
I upgrade that to baselayout2, /etc/inittab gets uninstalled and never 
installed again. When upgrading from baselayout1 to baselayout2 in my 
Virtuozzo container the file was preserved correctly.
This is really great! Creating a new Gentoo container/template is now as 
simple as downloading a stage3 tarball, upgrade it to baselayout2 and 
then boot it.
Thanks!

Regards,
Arjan
