[Users] CONFIG_USER_RESOURCE missing?

[Andreas Mimz]

Hello,

I've recently upgraded one of my host servers from an etch 32 bit system 
to a debian etch 64 bit system (same host)... I've compiled a new kernel 
using almost the same config like the one I had before (except for 64bit 
of course)...

Now, when trying to start a VPS I get this message...

VE is mounted
Error: kernel does not support user resources. Please, rebuild with 
CONFIG_USER_RESOURCE=y
VE start failed

some parts of my .config:

# grep CONFIG_USER_RESOURCE .config
CONFIG_USER_RESOURCE=y
CONFIG_USER_RESOURCE_PROC=y

# egrep "CONFIG_V[EZ]" .config
CONFIG_VZ_QUOTA=m
# CONFIG_VZ_QUOTA_UNLOAD is not set
CONFIG_VZ_QUOTA_UGID=y
CONFIG_VE=y
CONFIG_VE_CALLS=m
CONFIG_VZ_GENCALLS=y
CONFIG_VE_NETDEV=m
CONFIG_VE_ETHDEV=m
CONFIG_VZ_DEV=m
CONFIG_VE_IPTABLES=y
CONFIG_VZ_WDOG=m
CONFIG_VZ_CHECKPOINT=m

I'm using a 2.6.18 kernel using the RHEL5 kernel patch 028stab023.1 
(that's basically the only other difference to the 32 bit system... 
there I was running a 028stab021.1 kernel.).

a strace on 'vzctl start X' shows basically this...

Maybe I missed a specific setting when upgrading my kernel using 'make 
oldconfig' ?!
Has anyone any idea about this?

Thanks alot in advance!
