It's a "Linux-VServer." In this setup, all virtual private servers share
the kernel of the host system (It's like a glorified chroot). You don't
need grub. The host system calls /sbin/init. I've followed this howto
for hosting europe:

Yes this link i know, and u has problems or nothing?. I has run the setup,
but Gentoo want not start. Can u tell me how u make the Network. Because
i understand not the routing.

root@vserver12:~# ip route
127.0.0.0/8 dev lo scope link
default dev venet0 scope link


And must use the vserver build? Because its from year 2006 when i see it right,
can i use it at this timepoint?

Thx for advice.

This is my /etc/conf.d/net (of course you have to adapt subnets):

modules="iproute2"
modules="!ifconfig"

config_venet0="83.169.5.6/32 broadcast 0.0.0.0"
routes_venet0="191.255.255.1/32 scope link
default via 191.255.255.1"

dns_domain_lo="binarywings.net"
dns_domain_venet0="binarywings.net"
dns_servers="8.8.8.8"


/sbin/rc-update (notice net.venet0):
bootmisc | boot
devfs | sysinit
dmesg | sysinit
fcron | default
fsck | boot
hostname | boot
hwclock | boot
keymaps | boot
killprocs | shutdown
local | default
localmount | boot
modules | boot
mount-ro | shutdown
mtab | boot
net.lo | boot default
net.venet0 | default
netmount | default
nscd | default
procfs | boot
root | boot
savecache | shutdown
sshd | default
svscan | default
swap | boot
sysctl | boot

IIRC, the build was merged into the main tree. You should be able to use
the default stage3. I'm using the default x86 portage profile.

It's probably also a good idea to set rc_sys in /etc/rc.conf but I
didn't need to.

Be aware that you are then using Gentoo on a shared server and that you
will have great impact on the performance of the other users on the host
if your are not careful.

I was once contacted from strato because of the high load I put on the
server but then I changed /var/tmp/portage to tmpfs and added

PORTAGE_NICENESS="19"
PORTAGE_IONICE_COMMAND="ionice -c 3 -p ${PID}"

to make.conf and after everyone was happy.

I have it now try with install Gentoo again, and it want not run. Ok

dns_domain_venet0="stratoserver.net"
nis_domain_venet0="stratoserver.net"

I make so, because the ip route give 127.0.0.0.


Has someone idea what is wrong?

Hello,


so im step by step near to run gentoo. I think the prob is the network config.

The rc.log -> http://nopaste.info/443b0bc302.html

So it seems so that gentoo start perfectly, but ping give no answers.

root@h2025095:~# ip addr
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
inet6 ::1/128 scope host
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
3: venet0: <BROADCAST,POINTOPOINT,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN
link/void
inet 127.0.0.1/32 scope host venet0
inet 85.214.127.155/32 scope global venet0:0
inet6 ::1/128 scope host
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

root@h2025095:~# ip route
127.0.0.0/8 dev lo scope link
default dev venet0 scope link

Mmh has someone idea what i can do?
Thank u.

Regards
Silvio

In /etc/make.conf set the portage temporary directory to a location on
tmpfs, for example mine:

PORTAGE_TMPDIR=/dev/shm

This only works well if you have a lot of free RAM available, though.
