AFAIK the problem with gentoo init scripts is, that some of the scripts depend on other scripts like clock, ntp, net.eth0, etc....which configure system level things. As that is not possible / allowed inside a regular guest, they will fail, and as such the scripts depending on them as well. That's why you have to use the baselayout-vserver, which includes emtpy scripts for those ones. -> init scripts get not only started if they are in a specific runlevel, but also if another script depends on them. so that might be the reason why on gentoo you have to use other init scripts whereas on ubuntu etc, it works out of the box. hmm -- regards, Georges Toth _______________________________________________ Vserver mailing list [email protected] http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver
