Centos Issues Creating a new CT (x64 and i686/386)

[Trimmings]

I've tried both 32 and 64 bit images, the 32 bit I even downloaded using the web interface. It says 'Starting udev: [ OK ]' and then hangs with the square at the next line

Nothing special about this setup, just a plain disc install with local raid

Nobody? They are both the 6.3-1 image, one was downloaded straight from the proxmox interface. I'm not really sure how CT's should work but I'd expect to see the CT in console at least go to a login screen...

I've also done the full update via command line after posting this, no change

Yeah it kinda does help - my VM id is 106, I looked in /var/lib/vz/root/106 (which was there) and it was completely empty. This is the log of the creation.

Creating container private area (/var/lib/vz/template/cache/centos-6-standard_6.3-1_amd64.tar.gz)

CT configuration saved to /etc/pve/openvz/106.conf

TASK OK

It really looks like nothing is happening, no CT data, no DHCP requests - I hope there isn't anything obvious I'm missing but I should have a virtrual machine that does something - it just doesn't look right.

This is OK, because /var/lib/vz/root/106 is just a bind mount point used when the container is running.

You can find container data in /var/lib/vz/private/106
