    Networking Issue after Migration

    I have migrated an old old ubuntu server from a KVM server into proxmox kernel 2.6. On boot the network interface will not come up. I checked that it detected the device and it has as eth0 but cannot raise the interface because the tempfs on /dev/shm is not mounted. The error you actually see...

    [SOLVED] Direct Kernel Boot

    I will mark this as solved because it boots. If I adjust either of the images or the append then it doesn't work so I think its working ok.

    [SOLVED] Direct Kernel Boot

    I ended up having to put that in quotations: -kernel "/mnt/pve/network-proxmox/images/102/vmlinuz-2.6.24-23-server" -initrd "/mnt/pve/network-proxmox/images/102/initrd.img-2.6.24-23-server" -append "root=/dev/vda ro console=tty1 console=ttyS0,115200 2" And whilst it boots the kernel it does...

    [SOLVED] Direct Kernel Boot

    I appended this to the config file: args: -kernel /mnt/pve/network-proxmox/images/102/vmlinuz-2.6.24-23-server -initrd /mnt/pve/network-proxmox/images/102/ -append root=/dev/vda ro console=tty1 console=ttyS0,115200 2 Which I very much doubt is the correct thing to do.

    [SOLVED] Direct Kernel Boot

    Yes there is no problem with the disk formats, they are RAW and some are qcow2. The issue will be that as-is those disks contain no bootloader. Because in their natural habitat [the xml definition] the kvm does a direct kernel boot. So my question is, since proxmox is using KVM I would have...

    [SOLVED] Direct Kernel Boot

    We have an unmanageable number of KVM VM's that I'm hoping to migrate. I have set up proxmox and tried a few basics with a few new WM's windows and linux and I'm happy with creating them and even importing a disk image and reattaching, should it be needed. The part I can't immediately find...

    [SOLVED] Basic networking out of the box

    Thanks, sorry if I didn't make that clear at the start but note it didn't dent my enthusiasm. Standard practice to try these things in lab environment first and my personal machine is much more capable than our actual servers. So for anyone following along I think you need these two: Mac...

    [SOLVED] Basic networking out of the box

    I have just tried a complete new installation using Hyper-V nested virtualisation on to which I have ubuntu with KVM running a windows 10 guest. That seems to have no problems and works out of the box. I then tried exactly the same with a fresh proxmox nested on Hyper-V - and it doesn't...

    [SOLVED] Basic networking out of the box

    OK, so I set win10 and ubuntu to 192.168.0.243 and 192.168.0.242 and the CAN ping each other AND 192.168.0.14 which is proxmox itself But they cannot see anything outside of the proxmox world at all. So to summarise, I have a 192.168.0.0/24 network which has 192.168.0.1 gateway and another 70...

    [SOLVED] Basic networking out of the box

    I have rebooted proxmox a few times no change. I have 192.168.0.1 defined as the gateway in the guests. I have one ubuntu and one windows 10 guest at the moment. What I thought I'd try was to configure both guests with a static IP and see if they can ping each other. After that I will report...

    [SOLVED] Basic networking out of the box

    And that VM is configured to use vmbr0. I can see some bytes sent and received, but I have no idea what they are and no way to figure that out with no way to install anything useful on the vm. I'm sure I have it configured correctly - it just doesn't work.

    [SOLVED] Basic networking out of the box

    I followed the best practices and yes I have the drivers installed. I used the VirtIO network driver and the network device does show up. I tried other network devices but I think the problem is proxmox not the network drivers. I manually set a fixed IP of 0.234 and gateway to 192.168.0.1 in...
