I've just installed a new server with OpenVZ. And as others has
explained you will need Dahdi for Meetme among other things.

You will need to install dahdi-complete on the Hardware node, and the
kernel sources. ( Debian: apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` )

In the VE conf-file you will need the following line for the VE to
access Dahdi:
DEVNODES="dahdi/channel:rw dahdi/ctl:rw dahdi/pseudo:rw dahdi/timer:rw"

In the VE, compile and install dahdi-complete, then build and install
asterisk.
