Hello,
we have upgraded our Ubuntu 9.04 OpenVZ template to 9.10.
After restarting the ugraded system, the virtual machine isn't running anymore.

We tried to enter the container on the Host but received the following error:
enter into CT 9888 failed
Unable to open pty: No such file or directory

We checked the init.log in /var/lib/vz/root/9888/var/log/

tail -f init.log
init: hwclock main process (32) terminated with status 77
mountall:/proc: unable to mount: Device or resource busy
mountall:/proc/self/mountinfo: No such file or directory
mountall: root filesystem isn't mounted
init: mountall main process (33) terminated with status 1
General error mounting filesystems.
A maintenance shell will now be started.
CONTROL-D will terminate this shell and re-try.
Give root password for maintenance
(or type Control-D to continue):

We are using the last Proxmox version.

Does anyone has the same problem while upgrading 9.04 to 9.10?

Thanks in advance.
Mike

You obviously installed and started new services? Maybe udev is running? If so , disable it.
 
Hello,
thank you for your answer.

We've tried disabling udev. This didn't solved the problem.

I did some researches and it seems that there are some problems with the proxmox kernel Linux i030 2.6.24-8-pve and the kernel ubuntu 9.10 is using normally: Linux ubuntu 2.6.31-14-generic

Some people had the same issue when upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10 on a native system.

They solved it by editing menu.lst to reference kernel 2.6.31-14-generic but this can't be done in a virtual environment.

So I don't know what we could do else.

Best regards.

Inside the container?

I guess you are confused - a container does not use a separate kernel.
 
Yes. Inside the container.
We even tried to remove udev completely. (chroot into the container folder)

I also know that a container does not use a separate kernel :)

It was just an idea that maybe the proxmox kernel does not really support ubuntu 9.10 (I don't know why it shouldn't)

Best regards.
