Hardware: dual Opteron 242
Kernel: linux-2.6.18-openvz-028.049
Host OS: Gentoo
Guest OS: ubuntu-7.10-i386-minimal

Both host and VE are fresh installs.

I noticed that "vzctl stop 101" would fail with

Stopping VPS ...
Unable to stop VPS, operation timed out


This of course also prevented me from properly shutting down the system
(power off required).

I found a post [1] that seemed related, which led to investigating halt
commands:

vps1 ~ # vzctl enter 101
root@localhost:/# halt -p
shutdown: Unable to send message: Connection refused
root@localhost:/# halt
shutdown: Unable to send message: Connection refused 
root@localhost:/dev# halt -fp
got signal 9
exited from VE 101
vps1 ~ #


Does this appear to be a problem with OVZ or with the guest template?
