Hi List / Hollow,

yesterday I downloaded a stage4 from Hollows page and installed it using
the line given on http://people.linux-vserver.org/~hollow/stages/.

I have a quite old kernel but utils are recent:
                   Kernel: 2.6.15-vs2.1.0.4-gentoo
                   VS-API: 0x00020001
             util-vserver: 0.30.214; Oct 11 2007, 18:24:19

When I launch the server I get a startup error but the guest seems to be
working afterwards:

serverix ~ # vserver ftp start

I did not touch anything in the guest instead od installing mysql and
proftpd.

Any ideas

Oliver
