Change Default kernal to load on startup

I also am having an issue with all kvm machines displaying a black page when trying to view them via the web interface using the vnc console.

I also am unable to ping or access them.

I believe this has something to do with the update I tried to apply! :(
 
did you follow the update guide?
see http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Downloads#Update_a_running_Proxmox_Virtual_Environment_1.5

did you reboot into the right kernel? post your 'pveversion -v'.

The only step that I did not complete properly in the update guide was to stop all running vm's before updating the kernal.

I have tried booting into the pve-kernal-2.6.24-7 from the kernal options at boot as I require both KVM and OpenVZ support. I didn't realise before installing 2.6.32 that it didn't support OpenVZ.

The output of pveversion -v is:
proxmox:~# pveversion -v
pve-manager: 1.5-10 (pve-manager/1.5/4822)

Please advise.
 
I have installed the latest release of 2.6.24 kernal branch and autoremoved the 2.6.32 kernal branch.

This has fixed the kvm issues and openvz still works.

How can I edit the bootup kernal options and remove the 2.6.32 from still being listed???
 
take a look on /boot/grub/menu.lst, just remove the unwanted lines.
