How to install openvz on debian 8?

Question

linux

Hello. I have a machine with debin 8.1 installed. I want to put openvz there. I do everything according to the instructions . After downloading and installing the latest kernel (2.6.32) openvz reboot and select it. However, the system with this kernel does not boot, but gives out
Please tell me how to make everything work.

Answer 1

So far, it can't be placed. I tried to put it myself about two weeks ago - in the same way, it does not boot into the new kernel. I think it's because the kernel versions are not compatible between OpenVZ and the Linux kernel. We must wait for OpenVZ to update its kernel. Then everything will be set. So far, only on Debian 7 can be installed.
Thanks to the experts, of course, for the tip on alternative solutions, but the person asked where to drink water, and they tell him why he needs water - there is Pepsi-Cola.

It ran fsck on your container, right? It remains only to understand whether fsck worked or is still working.
vzctl start has an option --skip-fsck , try it to cut off this check, well at least try without it once.
Another small new feature is ploop-related. When you start (or mount) a ploop-based container, fsck for its inner filesystem is executed. This mimics the way a real server works -- it runs fsck on boot. Now, there is a 1/30 or so probability that fsck will actually do filesystem check (it does that every Nth mount, where N is about 30 and can be edited with tune2fs). For a large container, fsck could be a long operation, so when we start containers on boot from the /etc/init.d/vz initscript, we skip such check to not delay containers start-up. This is implemented as a new --skip-fsck option to vzctl start.

everything works, but on the host node you need to switch to sysv init back, it is incompatible with systemd (only on the host node)
