IIRC there was a similar thread earlier (search the archives), and the
conclusion was whatever method you used to create the guest is flawed,
in that in doesn't create the necessary tty nodes and modify
/etc/inittab accordingly. It's consistent with your log "INIT: Id "6"
respawning too fast" and friends, which should be the line that starts
tty.

I'd suggest you try using "lxc-create -t debian", or at least see what
modification is present there (/usr/lib/lxc/templates/lxc-debian) and
apply it manually to your setup.
