HN is running CentOS 6.5, I'm using the OpenVZ kernel 2.6.32-042stab088.4 and vzctl version 4.7.2

Trying to migrate from a system running Debian 3.1, and want to move from this physical host into a virtualized container.

Followed instructions on moving from a physical server to a container. Had to FTP the files since there is not enough free space to use tar and the system does not have rsync installed.

After following the steps outlined to accomplish this, I attempt to start the container but I get a non-descript error:

Starting container...
Mounting root: /vz/root/401 /vz/private/401
Container is mounted
Setting iptables mask 0x1c000007
Setting features mask 0000000000000001/0000000000000001
Container start failed (try to check kernel messages, e.g. "dmesg | tail")
Killing container ...
Container was stopped
Running: /usr/sbin/vzquota stat 401 -f
Container is unmounted



running a dmesg | tail only shows the container started and then stopped.

I set the loglevel to 9 to see if I could get more clues, but didn't get anything else that gives me any further clues to help troubleshoot the problem. Any ideas on how to either solve the problem, or to narrow down the sources of it, or even just to generate a more descriptive error message?

vzctl.log only shows:
