That would probably be one source of your problem :)

The upcoming ubuntu 12.04 pretty much works out-of-the-box as lxc host
and guest. Enough for me to justify using it on my laptop since its
beta days.

As for other guests, I wrote what I did on my wiki. Centos5 and 6
should be good example of what customizations needed for sysvinit and
upstart-based distros. I haven't been able to get systemd-based (e.g.
Fedora16) to work though.

Again, that's why I use ubuntu 12.04, even if it's not officially relased yet.

I can't speak for the developers, but from my experience with other
software usually this is one of the cases where users like you can
contribute, and patches are welcome :P
