I have a few questions about the upgrade process for beta 2 when it comes out:

1. How much will need to be be upgraded? (will anything related to the OS/qemu-server need updated)

2. How painless will it be?

3. Will all previous images remain functional in this version?
 
1. How much will need to be be upgraded? (will anything related to the OS/qemu-server need updated)

The plan is to update the following packages:

pve-kernel-2.6.24, pve-kvm-2.6.24, pve-manager, qemu-server

2. How painless will it be?

Stop all VMs, stop qemu-server, run apt/deselect to update, then reboot to activate the new kernel.

3. Will all previous images remain functional in this version?

Yes. The configuration format for kvm changed, but I included an automatic converter to makes updates painless.
