    Hi,

    I want to start using vserver on my Debian woody server machine (it
    stands far from here, and I have root, but no terminal access).

    Testing the software on my local test machine, everything went smooth
    apart from some small issues just at the beginning of my test.
    So I compiled a vserver kernel for the server, too, copied it to /boot,
    added a lilo entry and ran "lilo -R vserver" to test it first (as it is
    more complicated to have the machine restarted with a specific image, I
    didn't change the default).
    Everything came up and worked all right.
    However, after changing the lilo default image, the server did not come
    up again. It only worked when I instructed the hoster to select the
    "old"/plain kernel image.

    This error is reproducable - having the non-vserver image as default,
    the server does boot with both kernels (uname -r told me that I worked
    using the vserver kernel).
    Changing the default to the vserver image, the computer only starts
    when manually choosing the plain kernel.

    Does anybody have a hint what I'm doing wrong or where I could start
    searching?

    Thank you a lot, greetings from Regensburg, Germany
    Baltasar
