As you quote my fc1-howto, you might reread the section about the
services one wants to start: A (v)Server whithout at least syslog
running is not a complete unix environment. So at least syslog should
be set to active in ntsysv (or via chkconfig manually). Having a syslog
in each vserver keeps the context 'active' and thus visible in
vserver-stat.

Erm.. who said it failed? The vserver startup works just fine, but since
no processes are running within the context, you can't see anything.
That has NO effect whatsoever on the ip binding.
