I think I have also seen this before. If I remember correctly it was a permissions problem or missing file in /dev. I suggest you do an 'ls -l /dev' in a working vserver, and compare it with the results from a non-working vserver and check for differences. Just for reference, I have the following in one of mine: crw--w--w- 1 root root 1, 7 Oct 28 2002 full prw------- 1 root root 0 Feb 23 2003 initctl crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 Oct 28 2002 null crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 5, 2 Mar 14 2002 ptmx drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 96 Oct 31 2002 pts crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 8 Oct 28 2002 random crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 5, 0 Oct 28 2002 tty cr--r--r-- 1 root root 1, 9 Oct 28 2002 urandom prw-r----- 1 root adm 0 Feb 23 2003 xconsole crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 5 Oct 28 2002 zero Cheers, Mark. -- Mark Lawrence
