Ah I had this :) If you run : /etc/init.d/networking restart You will get an error about /var/run/network/ifstate being unavailable or something similar (from memory) What is wrong is the /var/run/network directory is not being created on boot up for some reason so simply : mkdir...

Doh! This turned out not to be a KVM/Proxmox issue after all but a stroppy router that had behaved itself previously decided to act up. This does explain the VERY odd results I was getting... So to answer my own question :) To get GRE support for a KVM guest simply use a bridged connection...

Hi, I have virtualised a Windows 2003 server and everything has gone well up until now. I am trying to get the VPN that it was running working again, initially I was on Proxmox 1.5 and I believe it is a GRE issue. I have been all through the forum and I found a note that GRE was supported in...

Hurrah it lives! In case anyone has done the same, you can swap to an IDE disk without having to re-image etc, simply stop the VM, remove the hard drive from the virtual machine. The drive image will still be there, then add a new drive and in the bottom panel you can create a drive from...

Ah many thanks, that makes sense thinking about it :)

Thanks obrienmd, I saw that in the MSKB article and I checked from the live CD and Atapi.sys, Intelide.sys, Pciide.sys, and Pciidex.sys are all present. :confused: I would overwrite them with the versions stored in the .cab but I can't find the Drivers.cab file on 2k3. Any other...

Hi All, I am attempting to migrate a Win2k3 AD server to KVM, I am using the instructions on the wiki for fsarchiver as I am shrinking the drive size down from 120G to 15G (there is only about 8G in use). I ran the mergeide.reg fix before creating the image, the image created fine and...

Apologies, I phrased it very badly. What I should have said is that: If like the above poster your KVM instance is just waiting at the booting from hard disk prompt make sure that you set the boot flag in gparted when you created the partition. If you didn't don't panic just boot from a...

I got a bit further that the above poster, the missing step is to make sure you set the boot flag in gparted. Now I am getting the 0x0000007B error BSOD even though I ran the reg fix stuff first.
