[Lxc-users] Problems after udev upgrade

[John Lewis]

Hi All,

I created a new container the other week using the template script 
bundled with the latest stable version of LXC. I figured it would 
probably be ok to do that even though I only have the userspace tools 
that come with Ubuntu 10.04 (0.6.5 or there abouts).

I couldn't understand why nothing was getting upgraded after a week or 
two when running apt-get update and found that the updates repository 
wasn't enabled in sources.list. I duly enabled same and the next apt-get 
upgrade installed new versions of udev, mountall, etc. and of course 
failed configuring udev. I got around that issue by using 
http://www.emanuelis.eu/2010/09/15/mknod-lib-udev-devices-ppp-operation-not-permitted-when-updating-ubuntu-10-04-on-virtual-lxc-machine/ 
but did not come to reboot the container till last night.

After reboot I get "lxc-console: console denied by 'server'" when trying 
to get console access. I also got a pty error trying to SSH in which was 
fixed by copying an older /etc/init from backup.

The main problem I have now is that init isn't booting the runlevel 
properly and I have to type "telinit 2" from inside the container to get 
all the services come up. Can anyone help me please?
