Wow.  I don't think you can get OpenVZ working with Fedora 12 as the host OS.  It is simply too new for the stable OpenVZ kernels, and while the devel 2.6.32 branch might work... I would not consider that a good production environment.

I assume the system you are working on is dedicated to OpenVZ and that you have physical access to it?  If so, then I'd recommend you use CentOS 5.5 or Owl as the host OS.  I am not saying you have to, but I would guess that the root of most of your problems is in using Fedora as the host OS.

I happen to really like Fedora for desktop systems.  I have my own personal Fedora REMIX and I'm also a Fedora Ambassador... but given the very limited support cycle of Fedora, I really do NOT recommend it on servers especially if you are creating containers that you want to use for a long time.

If and when the OpenVZ 2.6.32 devel branch is marked as stable, that situation might change.

TYL,
