Hi all -

I had an old machine that was still running 1.1 and I decided tonight to try an upgrade to 1.5.. It looks like the kernel got upgraded but proxmox did not. Anyone have any ideas?

Code:
vlinux03:~# pveversion -v
pve-manager: 1.1-1 (pve-manager/1.1/3664)
qemu-server: 1.1-11
pve-kernel: not correctly installed
pve-kvm: not correctly installed
pve-firmware: 1.0-3
vncterm: 0.9-1
vzctl: 3.0.23-1pve8
vzdump: 1.2-5
vzprocps: 2.0.11-1dso2
vzquota: 3.0.11-1dso1

what is the output of 'pveversion -v'?
 
Hi Tom-

The output of pveversion -v before I did the 'aptitude dist-upgrade' is in my first post. Below is the output after:

vlinux03:/etc/vz/conf# pveversion -v
pve-manager: 1.5-8 (pve-manager/1.5/4674)
running kernel: 2.6.18-2-pve
proxmox-ve-2.6.18: 1.5-5
pve-kernel-2.6.18-2-pve: 2.6.18-5
pve-kernel-2.6.24-2-pve: 2.6.24-5
qemu-server: 1.1-11
pve-firmware: 1.0-3
libpve-storage-perl: 1.0-10
vncterm: 0.9-2
vzctl: 3.0.23-1pve8
vzdump: 1.2-5
vzprocps: 2.0.11-1dso2
vzquota: 3.0.11-1dso1
pve-qemu-kvm-2.6.18: 0.9.1-5
vlinux03:/etc/vz/conf#
 
looks ok!
 
I had the same problem on a newly installed 1.3 testsystem. So I suspect practicly everyone gets this error(?)

Although the fix is easy it might be handy and avoid a lot of questions if the solution (aptitude dist-upgrade) was added to the wiki at the end of "Update a running Proxmox Virtual Environment 1.x to 1.5"
