Thanks Tom - thought I did this before but evidently i messed it up somehow! Thanks!

No idea what's happening here - happens on two different proxmox boxes. Can't see where the mac address is getting passed and I'm assuming a half empty comma separated string is bad. This is created by the GUI: vzctl set 108 --vmguarpages 65792:9223372036854775807 --oomguarpages...

Ah - thanks dietmar that looks like it was my problem - I scanned over the file you mentioned but i didn't spot there was a difference in it - all fixed now! And lovin the net "Options" menu for the virtual machine and it's addition of changing the boot order!

Though now I am getting problems adding a new VM :( /usr/bin/pvectl qmcreate 107 --mem 512 --disk 32 --onboot yes --name bslert1064-01 --cdrom cdrom --network model=rtl8139,tap --disktype ide --ostype l26 Unknown option: disk Unknown option: network Unknown option: disktype unable to apply VM...

FYI, upgraded an install with 6 VMs, no problems!

And suse 10.0 installation freezes with only the background screen working :( http://nozzle.suse.de/pub/suse/i386/10.0/iso/SUSE-10.0-CD-i386-GM-CD1.iso Thanks!

Confirmed - I can reproduce this with the CentOS CD ISOs found here: http://anorien.csc.warwick.ac.uk/mirrors/centos/5.2/isos/i386/ Thanks!

lol - well it's cool, yes... but it ultimately means that I'm not running a fully virtualised OS so if I build and test something with the proxmox kernel, there is a bigger chance it will core on the machine it's actually intended for (I'm planning on using this as a virtualised build/qa farm)...

OK - after a bit of fighting, I now have an openvz release set up. Unfortunately, this still seems to report using the 2.6.24 kernel which comes with proxmox. Upon further investigation, I found this: http://wiki.openvz.org/Features. This makes me a little bit nervous - this means that...

Thanks Dietmar - I'll have a look at openvz to see if it can resolve the linux side of things (I haven't tried it yet) - but I wanted to run solaris distributions as well, so I think I still need to use KVM for that. Is openvz the line you guys are moving toward where possible?

Hi Tom, I only tried this once so I can't guarantee I can reproduce it... however, I will try again with a CD CentOS distribution tomorrow and let you know what happens - if it is a problem, I should only need to burn the first two disks :). Thanks!

Proxmox, anyone? I'm not sure what VMware would accomplish here which proxmox can't (bear in mind none of my guests are windows) - from what I have experienced so far, proxmox is extremely powerful and convenient. VMware would run into the same problem with hostnames in the guestOS, and the kvm...

Hi Again, I want to live in a world where I can distribute VMs across dozens of machines, ideally with the same starting image. This is fairly complex and I am terrible at describing things so I will try and explain this in bullet points: I want the same VM image to work out of the box on...

Hi Guys, I have worked around this in the past by merging CD releases into single DVD disks, but I'm wondering if there is a more graceful solution? I'm also hitting a bit of a stump here because the merged RHEL 2.1 release doesn't seem to work correctly... The problem occurs when a...
