changed it to sysv but still timeout on minilog.. what is that. i dont load any minilog. also, i entered the system and tried doing an init 0 to watch it shut down and saw this error and no shutdown.
i suspect this is the culprit.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] /]# init 0
init: timeout opening/writing control channel /dev/initctl

any ideas what i should do to fix this?

That's expected, you no longer have an init inside the guest, so things like that won't work.

The problem is that CentOS uses logging in their init.d scripts, even after syslogd has been shut down. This causes minilogd to be started when syslog(3) is invoked, and because guests generally lack the real killall script, it won't be stopped by the guest's shutdown procedure.

To fix it, you could either comment out the relevant lines (/etc/init.d/functions, IIRC grep for initlog), or add a real killall script to the guest's 0 and 6 runlevels.
