It got stuck at:

Setting up Logical Volume Management: (part of rc.sysinit)

Solution:

Boot:
1) grub “e” (to edit the first line)
2) append “init = /bin/bash” to kernel parameters
3) boot (Enter, “b”)

(append “Single” should work as well but it didn’t as far as I remember)

Console
1) mount / -o remount (enables rw mode)
2) vi /etc/lvm/lvm.conf
3) replace
locking_dir = “/var/lock/lvm”
by
locking_dir = “/tmp”
(this is because “lvremove” does not recognize the –ignorelockingfailure parameter)
4) cd /sbin
5) ./lvm.static lvdisplay –ignorelockingfailure (not sure if this param is necessary after editing lvm.conf)
6) Find the snapshot path: /dev/your_volumegroup/your_logical_volume_snapshot
7) remove: ./lvm.static lvremove /dev/your_volumegroup/your_logical_volume_snapshot
reboot
9) be happy as it works now!

10) ask yourself if you should have re-edited lvm.conf…

I have forgotten to do so but as “/tmp” is more or less recommended in lvm.conf.

Hope that helps either people or me (in future).

OpenVZ

Aus dem http://wiki.openvz.org/Installation_on_Debian :

echo “deb http://download.openvz.org/debian-systs etch openvz” >> /etc/apt/sources.list
wget http://download.openvz.org/debian-systs/dso_archiv_signing_key.asc
apt-key add dso_archiv_signing_key.asc
apt-get update
apt-get install fzakernel-2.6.18-686

echo “deb http://download.openvz.org/debian-systs etch openvz” >> /etc/apt/sources.list
wget http://download.openvz.org/debian-systs/dso_archiv_signing_key.asc
apt-key add dso_archiv_signing_key.asc
apt-get update
apt-get install fzakernel-2.6.18-686

Grub müsste bereits der Standard-Bootloader sein, deshalb einfach ein beherztes
“reboot”
eingeben.

Danach:
apt-get install vzctl vzquota
apt-get install vzprocps vzdump

Um direkt eine VM/VZ erzeugen zu können per
apt-get install vzctl-ostmpl-debian
eine Debian-VZ holen und wie folgt installieren:
vzctl create 101

(Es gibt nur ein OS-Template, also nimmt openvz das auch )
