Not sure under which circumstances it happened either, though I can distinctly recall that /dev/initctl existed and was a pipe. There was also nothing in the logs.

I'm upgrading from 12.3 to 13.1 release in an OpenVZ container, and not able to reboot the system after that srv-db-us:~ # reboot Failed to open /dev/initctl: No such device or address Failed to talk to init daemon. This remain exist after I downgrade back to 12.3. I found that in ArchLinux community there's a thread about similiar problem https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1184306#p1184306 and it seems an old kernel is the problem. As I'm in an OpenVZ container, I have 2.6.32-042stab072.10 kernel and it's not likely to be upgraded. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I found that in ArchLinux community there's a thread about similiar problem https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1184306#p1184306 and it seems an old kernel is the problem. As I'm in an OpenVZ container, I have 2.6.32-042stab072.10 kernel and it's not likely to be upgraded.

Ouch ... you can not use such an old kernel together with systemd

So... does this mean 13.1 no longer support running in OpenVZ anymore? (As I don't see any sign of OpenVZ to upgrade to 3.x kernel in near future) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I prefer not to. I can troubleshoot this for a day or two before I need to get that desperate. my wireless network is also offline, so it may be a different problem. Let me know if I need to open a separate bug == hardware x86 laptop / Dell 32-bit kernel / system installed 3.11.6-4-desktop == background I don't recall apply "zypper patch" recently, but I might have and I certainly have a couple times since 13.1 was released. Christian Rodríguez says it is a kernel regression. fixed in 3.11.8. But this is the only openSUSE bugzilla I see that looks relevant.
