[PVE-User] Container not starting up after upgrading to proxmox 1.5

[Garith Dugmore]

Hi ProxMox users,

2 out 4 containers on my VirtualHost don't start on boot.

After restarting one of them manually after boot it seems to come up 
without issue. The last one however refuses to start up. I see the 
following:

vh102:/vz/private# vzctl enter 1083
entered into CT 1083
[root at rt /]# ps -fwe
UID        PID  PPID  C STIME TTY          TIME CMD
root         1     0  0 09:37 ?        00:00:00 init [3]     
root        36     1  0 09:37 ?        00:00:00 [init-logger]
root       144     1  0 09:37 ?        00:00:00 /bin/bash /etc/rc.d/rc 3
root       208     0  0 09:45 ?        00:00:00 vzctl: ttyp0   
root       209   208  1 09:45 ttyp0    00:00:00 -bash
root       233   209  0 09:45 ttyp0    00:00:00 ps -fwe
[root at rt /]#

Also in /var/log/syslog I see the following:

Mar 16 09:31:06 vh102 kernel: ioctl32(mount:4024): Unknown cmd fd(3) 
cmd(80041272){t:12;sz:4} arg(bfec1938) on /

My pveversion:

pve-manager/1.5/4674

Also worth noting is the upgrade failed when trying to restart apache2. 
I had to manually comment out the ssl stanza in 
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/pve.conf and then restart. The errors I found 
in the apache2 error log were:

[Tue Mar 16 08:39:35 2010] [error] Init: Private key not found

I suspect reinstalling the entire machine with proxmox 1.5 and restoring 
from backups will fix my problem but I'd like to know what went wrong 
and also the possibility of fixing this without a reinstall.

Also I spotted this forum that I thought matches my problem but no 
answer unfortunately ->
