[Users] Container creation hangs forever

[Kirill Korotaev]

The answer should lie in these messages:
>>>> Unable to get full ostemplate name for centos-5-x86
>> Warning: distribution not specified default used /etc/vz/dists/default

which says that OS distribution wasn't detected for some reason correctly on container creation and thus on start default network configuration setup was used (which didn't work I guess).
Check your template and vzctl installation.
