We just released two kernel updates to our pvetest repository.
(deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian lenny pvetest)

Release notes:

- pve-kernel-2.6.18 (2.6.18-10)

- pve-kernel-2.6.32 (2.6.32-28)

  • upgrade to Debian Squeeze kernel 2.6.32-28 (openvz 2.6.32-dzhanibekov)
  • update Intel igb driver to version 2.4.8
  • update Intel ixgbe driver to version 3.0.14
Everybody using the 2.6.18 or 2.6.32 kernel branch is encouraged to test and give feedback! These packages are planned for the 1.7 ISO release (ISO will be based on Kernel 2.6.32).

Installed 2.6.32 from pvetest. It fixes issue with vzdump (snapshot method) from ext4 partition. With "stable" kernel from PVE 1.6, unmounting snapshot caused 20 minutes hang with high disk/cpu load and kernel errors.

When do you plan move it to stable rep?
 
Installed Kernel 2.6.18 without any problems. Kernel 2.6.32 did not work with my USB to IP server :(. Kernel 2.6.18 work without any problem.
