Debian Squeeze Installation Fails

[jamesb]

I am trying to install Proxmox on debian squeeze but am finding that the installation fails. I have found other threads where people are experiencing the same issue but there doesn't seem to be a solution. Does anybody know how to install proxmox on debian squeeze or know how to fix this issue?

I got this working now by changing my /etc/hosts file from the debian default to the following

127.0.0.1    localhost
192.168.32.40    icecream

I am not sure this is 'fixed' as there are probably going to be issues with the hostname not tied to the loop back address but it works with proxmox anyway. Is the best approach for pve-cluster?

Anyway I have moved on now and the installation has completed BUT I now see a kernel panic when trying to start a VM.

 

[jamesb]

So a kernel panic is a bit of a show stopper. Is there any debug I can provide that would be useful for you or anyway to capture the trace with this kernel?
