Manfred,
I ran out of ideas without having keyboad access to the thing.
I would test next, if an init script within that guest fails at startup
(I think of the nagios startup script). This may cause the whole init
process to stop, depending on the type of init (fake?).
After that, diff the config options of the vservers in /etc/vservers and
look what's differnet ...
HTH,
Andreas
