Hi,

I inform you, that sometime, I must reboot my Win2k8 web Edit 64bit KVM machines because machine freeze or goes in crash...
Why?
Have you some stable kvm config ? I use 512Mb ram and IDE Raw type disk.

Version (package/version/build) pve-manager/1.5/4627 Kernel Version Linux 2.6.24-10-pve #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Dec 29 10:16:15 CET 2009 Thanks
 
The current stable Proxmox VE is 1.5 with kernel 2.6.18.
 
we plan to maintain 2.6.18 for Proxmox VE 1.x longer and the upcoming 2.x will be only 2.6.32 based (based on Squeeze, and as Squeeze cannot boot from 2.6.18 or 2.6.24, this is the only option for 2.x).

so 2.6.24 will be EOL in a view months, announcement will be made here - as soon as we have details about the 2.6.32 version of OpenVZ.

Tom,

Just curious, why Squeeze would not boot on 2.6.18 or 2.6.24 ? Lenny is based on 2.6.26, if I am right, but Proxmox can boot on 2.6.18, 2.6.24 and 2.6.32. Why Squeeze would not be able to do the same thing ?

Will be 2.6.32 OpenVz and KVM compatible?
 
yes, we will maintain Proxmox VE based on Lenny and Kernel 2.6.18 until Squeeze with 2.6.32 (with Containers/OpenVZ) is stable - we will give our user base enough time to move then from 1.x to 2.x.

we are already working on Proxmox VE 2.x based on Squeeze with 2.6.32 - currently just with KVM due to the lack of OpenVZ, you can expect the first public beta in Q2/2010.
 
Hello

Do you have any bonds configured?

We had trouble using bonds, we bonded nic1 and nic2 in bond0 and the machines freezed for a whole lot of time.

after the undone, worked like a charm!
