None of my vps's are able to boot because of the following error.

thorpe@oblivion ~ # vzctl start 10100
Starting VE ...
VE is mounted
Unable to set capability: Invalid argument
Unable to set capability
VE start failed
VE is unmounted
thorpe@oblivion ~ # 


A quick search of this board hasn't helped much, someone suggested removing lcap, but I do not have lcap installed.

I am running a custom compiled kernel that I built from the kernel-2.6.24-ovz004.1.src.rpm rpm.

The steps I went through are quit long winded, but I can explain if required.

I am running Debian sid (x86_64) with 8G of memory.

These vps had been running without issue for the last month or so, I' just not sure where to start looking.

My /etc/vz/vz.conf file.
## Global parameters
VIRTUOZZO=yes
LOCKDIR=/var/lib/vz/lock
DUMPDIR=/var/lib/vz/dump
VE0CPUUNITS=1000

## Logging parameters
LOGGING=yes
LOGFILE=/var/log/vzctl.log
LOG_LEVEL=0
VERBOSE=0

## Disk quota parameters
DISK_QUOTA=no
VZFASTBOOT=no

# By default automatically assigned.
#VE_ROUTE_SRC_DEV="eth0"

# Controls which interfaces to send ARP requests and modify APR tables on.
NEIGHBOUR_DEVS=detect

ONBOOT="yes"

NAMESERVER="127.0.0.1"


This is my local nameserver so ignore the NAMESERVER directive.

I am having an issue with klogd not being able to start, not sure if this is at all related.

Any help much appreciated.
