I have installed OpenVZ on centos 6 on a dedicated server.
I followed quick installation guide on openvz wiki.
After installing thru yum, I don't know why, but grub.conf wasn't automatically
updated to accomodate new kernel, so I had to do it manually.
I edited grub.conf, added openvz kernel and rebooted – it went fine.
Server went up into openvz kernel and it worked, it started openvz service byitself.
But after I created a container, added IP to it and attempted to start it, I couldn't.
Here is the output from the shell:
[root@cloud2 ~]# vzctl start 86
Starting container ...
Container is mounted
Container start failed (try to check kernel messages, e.g. "dmesg | tail")
Container is unmounted
[root@cloud2 ~]# dmesg | tail
[ 1973.401596] CT: 86: failed to start with err=-105

[45184.072086] CT: 86: stopped
[45184.072099] CT: 86: failed to start with err=-105
[root@cloud2 ~]#
I don't know what is wrong.
I tried different templates, debian 6, centos 6, i386, amd64, but the issue is the same.
What is the problem?

I had similar problem, turns out that the problem was from this container setting: vzctl set 54 --numothersock 120 if you remove it (or set it to something like 1200) the container starts fine.
