Proxmox with debian kernel 4.8.0-0.bpo.2-amd64?

[jmar83]

I updated to a "default" debian kernel from the debian repositories with version 4.8.0-0.bpo.2-amd64.

Has somebody done that same thing, testing with that kernel?

The proxmox version i use is Virtual Environment 4.4-1/eb2d6f1e.

Proxmox VE since version 4.0 is based on an Ubuntu LTS kernel and will only be supported on that kernel. Why do you want to try a Debian kernel?

Based on an ubuntu-kernel, but the rest is debian so i understand? -> https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Roadmap


I had an earlier, debian (jessie) based version with 4.2 kernel before. Then i had some problems with packages, because of that i upgraded/repaired it via "apt-get upgrade" to the current version at this time - when i remember right. It upgraded it to version 4.4-1/eb2d6f1e. Then, the next step was installing kernel 4.8.0.x from the debian repository... just for trying

With Windows Server 2008 R2 i have some problems with the disk i/o speed. The only one driver that works well is the scsi driver. The other ones (virtio, ide, sata) are too slow.

Windows Server 2003 and linux works well with several configurations.

Yes. This is for hardware support. The LTS kernels are used for servers and some vendors certify Ubuntu, so to get better hardware support and a place to turn to on errors.

So, you have time at hand and want to deal with problems you would normally not have :-D

But this does not depend on the used kernel version of the hypervisor.
