Bug#655385: regression introduced in linux-2.6 2.6.32-46

[Simon Deziel <simon.deziel@gmail.com>]

Hi,

Since the kernel upgrade, all my Ubuntu Lucid VZ are broken. The
breakage manifests in various way but the more evident is the init
sequence missing some important parts. It seems that upstart inside the
VZ does not emit the "startup" event with cause many problems (missing
mounts, some daemons not starting, ...).

Old kernel working to "vzctl enter" in a Lucid VZ:

# uname -a
Linux vzhost-sdeziel.dev.sdeziel.info 2.6.32-5-openvz-amd64 #1 SMP Sun
May 6 05:21:56 UTC 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux
# vzctl enter build-lucid
entered into CT 1000

New kernel failing to "vzctl enter" in a Lucid VZ:

# uname -a
Linux vzhost-sdeziel.dev.sdeziel.info 2.6.32-5-openvz-amd64 #1 SMP Sun
Sep 23 11:32:18 UTC 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux
# vzctl enter build-lucid
enter into CT 1000 failed
Unable to open pty: No such file or directory

# echo "Manual reviving"
# vzctl exec build-lucid initctl emit startup --no-wait
# vzctl enter build-lucid
entered into CT 1000


Is there anyone else affected by this too?

Best regards,
Simon
