[Users] vzctl start yields err=-12

[Gregor at HostGIS]

I am having a problem creating and starting a new VE.
vzctl start gives me: mounted, container start failed, unmounting.


dmesg shows only this:
CT: 30: stopped
CT: 30: failed to start with err=-12

The verbose log (level 10) is no more useful to me:

Starting container ...
Running: /usr/sbin/vzquota show 30
Running: /usr/sbin/vzquota on 30 -r 0 -b 104857700 -B 104857700 -i

Mounting root: /vz/root/30 /vz/private/30
Container is mounted
Set iptables mask 0x000017bf
Set features mask 0000000000000000/0000000000000000
Container start failed
Running: /usr/sbin/vzquota stat 30 -f
Running: vzquota setlimit 30 -b 104857600 -B 104857600 -i 20000000 -I 
20000000 -e 0 -n 0
Running: /usr/sbin/vzquota stat 30 -f
Running: /usr/sbin/vzquota off 30
Container is unmounted


It can't possibly be a RAM shortage. This hardware has 24 GB physical, 
and only 9 is allocated amongst the other VEs. There are presently 8 
VEs, and this would make 9 if it would start.

Any thoughts on how I can debug this?
