Host System:
debian lenny 5.0.3 64bit
Kernel: 2.6.31.4-vs2.3.0.36.19
util-vserver 0.30.216~r2842-2
debootstrap 1.0.10lenny1
(with karmic script from ubuntus debootstrap 1.0.20~jaunty1)
vserver ubuntu910 build -m debootstrap --context 1185 --hostname ubuntu910 --interface dummy0=eth0:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/24 --rootdir /vservers -- -d karmic -m http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ -- --variant=minbase
results in a vserver that won't start with vserver ubuntu910 start, most
likely because the default sysv init style doesn't find anything to
start.
Immediately returns without an error and without a running vserver.
echo plain > /etc/vservers/ubuntu910/apps/init/style
vserver ubuntu910 start will start the vserver now, but won't start up
any services or execute upstart scripts. Inside the vserver there's
basically just init running.
vserver ubuntu910 enter
ps auxww

You can set the init style to plain for your 9.04 vserver and/or replace
the upstart package with sysvinit. Restart the vserver and you should be
able to finish the upgrade process BUT you will run into the upstart
issue after that (in 9.10 there seems to be no sysvinit package to
replace upstart anymore).

See above.
Could you be more specific about this 'specific' guest setup one needs
do get upstart working? Simply setting init style to plain doesn't work.
