No upgrade or anything else was made on the hardware node.

Version (package/version/build)	pve-manager/1.6/5087
Kernel Version	Linux 2.6.32-belyayev.1 #1 SMP Thu May 27 20:22:10 MSD 2010

I would appreciate any comments on how to fix this issue.

you run a non proxmox ve kernel, i recommend you upgrade your system to latest stable and try again.

see http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Downloads#Update_a_running_Proxmox_Virtual_Environment_to_1.9

ok, the upgrade fixed the problem.

Thanks
