How did you create the vserver in the first place?


>Does anybody know why the services like syslog etc


What commands does `/vservers/NAME/etc/inittab' start?

Is there a functioning `/etc/init.d/rc' or equivalent in the vserver's
filesystem space?

that's the problem. suse does have a /etc/rc.d/rc script but it doesn't work very well. so what I did is: I took an rc script from a debian system, made a few changes and I worked fine. It should also work to take an rc script from redhat.
the suse script make several calls that don't work in a vserver, so the script doesn't execute correctly.

Isn't this Red Hat/djbware only?

right. /sbin/service is not present in the suse distruibution.

>Or if there is some kind of a logfile that i missed?


Is there anything in `/var/log/boot.log'.

Hope that helps,
