Hello,
Thank you for Proxmox, it works perfectly for the whole linux servers (OpenVz) we virtualize (17).
Recently I was told to try to install a Win 7 KVM, so I looked carefully the good video tutorial on the wiki and try to do the same with a win 7 32 bits iso (by using Windows vista guest)... and I do not understand what happens :
The KVM is created but once I try to start it, it stops, no way to launch the windows startup through VNC display,
the log of the proxmox server says :
FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.32-4-pve/modules.dep: No such file or directory

Any ideas ?

Thanks in advance

Here is my version of proxmox :

# pveversion -v
pve-manager: 1.9-24 (pve-manager/1.9/6542)
running kernel: 2.6.32-4-pve

pve-kernel-2.6.32-6-pve: 2.6.32-47
qemu-server: 1.1-32
pve-firmware: 1.0-14
libpve-storage-perl: 1.0-19

post the start log, see "Administration/Logs/Tasks"
 
Thanks for answering !
I think the trouble is in the network card parameters, If I delete it, the KVM starts but if I choose virti0 or e1000 and vmbr0 it cannot be started.
Maybe it's obvious,I am a newbie in KVM.
Here is the specific log :

/usr/sbin/qm start 117
kvm: -netdev type=tap,id=vlan0d0,ifname=tap117i0d0,script=/var/lib/qemu-server/bridge-vlan: could not open /dev/net/tun: No such device

VM 117 start failed
 
I think there is a trouble with 2.6.32-4 kernel version because the Win 7 KVM can start on a node runnning under 2.6.32-6 kernel version even with a network card (impossible on 2.6.32-4).
Pve version is the same on the two nodes.
If it can help somebody...
