Installing to Debian 6

Karvanoppa · Apr 27, 2011

I have server with Debian 6 LAMP (64bit) and wanna install Proxmox to it. Can i use those Lenny version install help in Proxmox wiki or do i need to change something?

Thanks,

Proxmox VE 1.x series can be used on Lenny only. The upcoming 2.x series will be based on Squeeze so you need to wait for this new releases (see http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Roadmap#Roadmap_for_2.x)

As unsupported advice I have the latest proxmox running fine (no problems so far) in debian squeeze.

Code:

Install Debian Squeeze partitioning disk as

	1. 1Gb /boot ext4
	2. LVM
		50Gb	/			ext4	pve-root
		1xRAM	swap
		XXGb	/var/lib/vz	ext4	pve-data
		5Gb	Free for snapshots

/etc/apt/sources.list
+	deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian lenny pve

# wget -O- "http://download.proxmox.com/debian/key.asc" | apt-key add -

# aptitude update && aptitude dist-upgrade

# aptitude install pve-kernel-2.6.32-4-pve

# update-grub

# reboot

# aptitude install proxmox-ve-2.6.32 ntp ssh lvm2 (Accept exim4 uninstall)

done

Hello,
i want do the same. Install proxmox on amd64 squeeze. After add the sources.list entry and udpate upgrade, it didnt find the pve-kernel-2.6.32.-4-pve. But why?

Karvanoppa · May 27, 2011

Sorry but can't help. I change to debian 5 64bit and install proxmox on it. Better to wait proxmox 2.0 first you can change to squeeze.

sunghost · May 28, 2011

yes i would but i cant find any hint of the relase time, except the hint of q2, but we are in q2

. In the download section is an image für 6.0 but why no kernel image on the http download server??

You are doing something wrong...
If you run an "aptitude search pve-kernel" and get nothing, need to check your /etc/apt/sources.list more carefully.
Also check for errors with the "aptitude upgrade" command.

sunghost · May 31, 2011

Thats my sources.list

Code:

xagaba · May 31, 2011

Did you check the 'aptitude upgrade' command to see if they connect properly to proxmox repo ?
Still you get nothing with "aptitude search pve-kernel" ?

sunghost · May 31, 2011

works
but aptitude install pve-kernel-2.6.32-4-pve
didnt find the paket

Doesn't make any sense to me....
Which is the output of "aptitude search pve"?

sunghost · Jun 1, 2011

finds nothing with pve* ;(
this is what aptitude update say

aptitude update
Treffer http://download.proxmox.com lenny Release.gpg
Ign http://download.proxmox.com/debian/ lenny/pve Translation-de
Ign http://download.proxmox.com/debian/ lenny/pve Translation-en
Treffer http://download.proxmox.com lenny Release

perhaps a problem between the squeeze and lenny lines?

xagaba · Jun 1, 2011

Sorry, but I'm lost at it...
You have some problem at system level that prevents to add/see the pve repository to the package manager. But I can't figure out which it's the problem.

sunghost · Jun 1, 2011

I also think i have got an system problem. How looks your source.list and which kernel version do you use?

xagaba · Jun 2, 2011

This is my sources.list

Code:

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian squeeze main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian squeeze main contrib non-free

deb http://security.debian.org/security squeeze/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org squeeze/updates main contrib non-free

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian squeeze-updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian squeeze-updates main contrib non-free

deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian lenny pve

and I'm using actually pve-kernel-2.6.32-4-pve

sunghost · Jun 6, 2011

I dont understand it. I have the same entries, but he cant find the pve kernel ;(

atuin · Jun 6, 2011

Hi,

Have you installed the 64 bit version of debian ?

sunghost · Jun 6, 2011

No, its a testsystem with Kernel 2.6.32-5-686 #1 SMP.

atuin · Jun 6, 2011

so it's normal all proxmox package are for amd64 only

you must reinstall debian in 64bit flavor

cyril

sunghost · Jun 6, 2011
