I just updated my Proxmox server

pveversion -v 01/24/13 11:23 AM

And I can not start my kvm (Scientific Linux) guest, either from the web interface or the command line.

Code:
[B][COLOR=green]qm start 305[/COLOR][/B]

I could not find a resolution to the "Unable to find x86 CPU definition" on my google search.

Code:
kvm -cpu ?
Unable to find x86 CPU definition



Suggestions please =)

Doh -

Update for anyone who has this problem, apparently with the upgrade, "cpu64-rhel6" is no longer valid. I changed the cpu to "kvm64" in the web interface and now all is good.
