I'm using OpenVZ with Gentoo as VE. I upgraded it to use openrc-0.4.1-r1, udev-135-r3 and sysvinit-2.86-r12. The system starts ok, but there is no /dev/tty0 and when I start screen and then launch mc in VE I get Segmentation fault. Manually creating the device removes the problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. upgrade to openrc-0.4.1-r1, udev-135-r3 and sysvinit-2.86-r12 as Portage advices. 2. launch screen 3. launch mc. Actual Results: Segmentation fault Expected Results: Mc launched properly. The way to create the device is ancient but cool ;-) mknod /dev/tty0 -c 4 0 Workaround is to not use mc at all.
No idea why udev is not started, or does not create /dev/tty1. Have a look at Bug 253396 first. Nevertheless mc should catch errors and not crash.
If this still is a problem, please attach emerge --info output and a log or screenshot of the boot process. Please also check if udev was properly added to the sysinit runlevel, by checking ls -l /etc/runlevels/sysinit/udev
