That's a known problem. You don't have to remove them, merely disable them, by running "chkconfig cgconfig off" and "ckconfig cgred off" and rebooting. Then mount your cgroup on a common mount point. I get the impression from Serge and Daniel that this problem can't be solved with that kernel because that kernel doesn't support clone_children so you don't have any recourse.
This sounds like my "failed" case in testing with libcgroup enabled. The fact that it's mounted on /cgroup and not /sys/fs/cgroup does not bode well all all. 1) uname -a 2) chkconfig cgconfig You probably need to add a line to your /etc/fstab long the lines of this: cgroup /sys/fs/cgroup cgroup defaults 0 0 Then run the commands: chkconfig cgconfig off chkconfig cgred off The reboot (I have NOT had luck manually unmounting those cgroups and remounting as a single mount point). If I understand Serge's comments correctly, we can not get the multipoint mounts to work even with the patched and updated lxc package due to the lack of "clone_children" in that kernel, so you need to switch a single mount-point mount to get lxc to work. Then you don't even need the multipoint patches to get it to work though you may have tweaks to make.
