[gentoo-user] Anyone at Hosting Europe here?

Hi list!

Does anyone on this list have a virtual server from Hosting Europe
running Gentoo?

I'm currently trying to get a VPS 4.0 working. With VPS 3.0 it was no
problem to run Gentoo using this guide: [1]. Now I'm trying to port it
to 4.0 (4 times the guaranteed RAM at the same price) but the system
just doesn't boot or gets its network up.

If I don't find the problem myself this weekend, I have to go back to
the default Ubuntu and port my complete setup to that.

I'm thankful for any hints.

Since Hosting Europe uses a VServer based solution [2], any experience
with Gentoo guests on that might be useful.

I've also noticed that the new system is AMD64 while the old one was
32bit. Does booting a 32bit userspace in a 64bit VServer environment
pose any problem? Executing the 32bit binaries of my setup in the repair
system works flawlessly.

Argh, nevermind. As it seems, you have to copy the directory
/etc/network with all its content from the old vserver installation. It
seems like they have added some skripting in the background.

As an advice for anyone with a similar problem: The 'details' link when
starting the repair mode and leaving it (in the management web app)
actually provides some interesting information.
