well, first a comment on your 'previous' post regarding yum: IIRC, the latest yum was reported to have some issues downgrading to a certain version did help some folks (please search the ML archives for details) then, you might also try the rpm and apt-rpm based install methods, which might have more success on your setup (of course the debootstrap build method should work fine too) and finally, to build a guest 'by hand', just do a normal install, create the guest with the skeleton method (see alpha-util-vserver page for details) and copy over all the dirs except for the /dev one ... after that (or after the first startup) cleanup all hardware related runlevel scripts to avoid error messages on startup/shutdown well, that's it (IIRC there is also a wiki page which explains this kind of migration) > Thanks for your patience with my troubles. you're welcome!
