=== /var/lib/modules ===
This folder is empty as no CentOS kernel was installed.
=== dhcpd ===
dhcpd was exiting and respawning itself unable to get an IP. IT hardcoded in OpenVZ on NIC side for server only mode. Shut it down with:
service dhcpd stop
chkconfig dhcpd off
== Errors ==
=== Init Boot Log ===
On startup, the VM emits the following error:
<pre>
Applying Intel CPU microcode update: FATAL:
Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.32-7-pve/modules.dep: No such file or directory
/etc/rc.d/init.d/microcode_ctl: microcode device /dev/cpu/microcode doesn't exist?
Starting system logger: [ OK ]
</pre>
The said package is:
</pre>
rpm -qa | grep -i microcode
microcode_ctl-1.17-3.el5
</pre>
* Removing it would mean the removal of 41 '''smeserver''' and '''e-smith''' rpms which are dependent.
* Ref: [http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=236507 Forum Post].
* Ref: [http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.2/Virtualization/sect-Virtualization-Troubleshooting-Microcode_error_during_guest_boot.html CentOS Docs]
* Hence:
/sbin/service microcode_ctl stop
/sbin/chkconfig --del microcode_ctl
* Copy the /lib/modules/2.6.32-7-pve folder from the host to the guest.
* Initial Boot Log of the VM will show the following error:
<pre>
iscsid is stopped

* Remove offending RPM and it's dependancies:
<pre>
# yum remove iscsi-initiator-utils
Removed:
iscsi-initiator-utils.i386 0:6.2.0.872-16.el5
Dependency Removed:
mkbootdisk.i386 0:1.5.3-2.1 mkinitrd.i386 0:5.1.19.6-79.el5

* Networking and sshd works
* Pinging outside works
* yum update works
* '''venet0''' and '''venet0:0''' not recognised inside SMEServer
** Try to take a look at /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persisten-net.rules. Specifically the MAC address [RequestedDeletion ]
* login as '''root''' and type '''console''' and enter the configuration menu
* Can test internet access
* elinks does not browse server-manager
* configuration of server '''fails''' since no network card is recognised as it relies on '''udev'''
* devnodes '''/dev/tun''' is available in the container
