Hello,

I just recently purchased a new machine to build virtualized servers to play. I think my hardware is compatible. I made sure my build was 64 bit as stated in requirements. I tried installing Proxmox by going through the setup process. After rebooting I noticed a few messages that I did not see on many of the install demos online. The three error messages that stand out are the following:

[drm: pch_irq_handler] *ERROR* PCH poison interrupt

Configuring Network interfaces... interface eth0 does not exist!

Fatal:error inserting kvm_intel (.......) operation not supported


I thought maybe the eth0 issue was bad hardware so to e sure I used a Linux live cd and had no problems getting internet connectivity so I know its not the mobo. I honestly don't know what else to do at this point. I searched this forum and all the internets on these errors and very little came up in relation to a Proxmox install. Please any ideas on steps I can take to fix these issues would be greatly appreciated!

Just in case here is my machine hardware I'm using:

the NIC driver is not supported in the current 2.6.32. (see also https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=214).

for the moment, just buy a intel nic for the pci-express port and you will be fine (quite cheap).

Hi Tom,

Thank you for getting back to me. Just so i'm clear this issue is due to my onboard network not being supported. Therefore by purchasing a PCI Nic it should bypass this issue?

Also, do you think this is why i'm seeing all three issues?

I have the same board here for the test lab, using a intel nic. looks like you did not enabled VT in the bios (Intel Virtualization).
