[Lxc-users] Debian Containers hangs when starting.

[Glenn Daneels]

I found out what was missing in my debian template script. My config file
asked for 6 tty's while probably only 2 got constructed (seems to be
default by Squeeze), so I added:

    # squeeze only has /dev/tty and /dev/tty0 by default,
    # therefore creating missing device nodes for tty1-4.
    for tty in $(seq 1 4); do
	if [ ! -e $rootfs/dev/tty$tty ]; then
	    mknod $rootfs/dev/tty$tty c 4 $tty
	fi
    done

    # configure the inittab
    cat <<EOF > $rootfs/etc/inittab
id:3:initdefault:
si::sysinit:/etc/init.d/rcS
l0:0:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 0
l1:1:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 1
l2:2:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 2
l3:3:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 3
l4:4:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 4
l5:5:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 5
l6:6:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 6
# Normally not reached, but fallthrough in case of emergency.
z6:6:respawn:/sbin/sulogin

c1:12345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1 linux
c2:12345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty2 linux
c3:12345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty3 linux
c4:12345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty4 linux
c5:12345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty5 linux
c6:12345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty6 linux
 EOF

That seemed to do the trick!

Thanks,

Glenn
