Are you absolutely sure about that? CentOS 4.2 has been removed from the
mirrors, so you should've gotten errors about that.

This makes it pretty obvious that nothing got installed.

You could upgrade to util-vserver 0.30.211-rc2 where centos42 has been
replaced by centos4, the more generic name which points to the latest 4

http://people.linux-vserver.org/~dhozac/p/uv/experimental/util-vserver-0.30.211-rc2.tar.bz2
