I think I have also seen this before. If I remember correctly it was a
permissions problem or missing file in /dev.
I suggest you do an 'ls -l /dev' in a working vserver, and compare it with
the results from a non-working vserver and check for differences.
Just for reference, I have the following in one of mine:
crw--w--w- 1 root root 1, 7 Oct 28 2002 full
prw------- 1 root root 0 Feb 23 2003 initctl
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 Oct 28 2002 null
crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 5, 2 Mar 14 2002 ptmx
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 96 Oct 31 2002 pts
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 8 Oct 28 2002 random
crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 5, 0 Oct 28 2002 tty
cr--r--r-- 1 root root 1, 9 Oct 28 2002 urandom
prw-r----- 1 root adm 0 Feb 23 2003 xconsole
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 5 Oct 28 2002 zero
Cheers, Mark.
