New Proxmox VE Kernels (2.6.18 - 2.6.24 - 2.6.32) [UPDATE]

Re: New Proxmox VE Kernels (2.6.32) Feedback, HR-RTC issue solved

ProxmoxVE1.5 solves the time drift issue (RTC stalled for several seconds depending on load when putting Windows VMs to higher resolution clock
für Quicktime, SAP, LabView). This happend on AMD PhenomII and probably was the same for others platforms using dynamic clocking of CPU/Chipset togehter with higer resolution clock settings.
This at least is true for the 2.6.32 Kernel, we didn't check the others!

Thanks a lot.

OK, the new firmware was in there:

Code: 
# ls -l /lib/firmware/bnx2/bnx2-mips-06-5.0.0.j3.fw
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 93172 Dec 29 05:04 /lib/firmware/bnx2/bnx2-mips-06-5.0.0.j3.fw

Looks like I was just had to update my initrd image (thanks dietmar!)

Code: 
# update-initramfs -u -t

Testing new kernel now, with virtio and 2 cores...

Does this replace the 'firmware-bnx' from the non-free repo?
 
Hello Dietmar,

I am wondering, i was checking and reading a lot in the forums but it seems this is not explained or was not asked for:

Why does 2.6.32 not have OpenVZ support? Is it because there are no native OpenVZ Patches available for 2.6.32? I thought OpenVZ is in vanilla? Isn't it?

So to speak, i am in the "need" of KVM+KSM+OpenVZ, will the 2.6.32 kernel eventually get OpenVZ support?

Best,
Ray

There is no OpenVZ for 2.6.32. See http://wiki.openvz.org/Download/kernel

We expect some news on the container virtualization on Kernel 2.6.32 later this year.
 
Hi Tom,

Ah, I was under the impression that OpenVZ is included in the vanilla kernel sources, i thought I read about it some time ago, but it seems I was mistaken,

thanks,
best regards
 
Hi and Hello, after the upgrade from 1.4 to 1.5, stopped my virtual machine and i can't restart it.
The proxmox works fine, also the new installed virtual machine is working perfect. But in the old one are some data witch i didn't backed up. Is there a possibility to extract the files from the raw disk file(local:101/vm-101-disk-1.raw) or is it possible to fix the virtual machine.
I hope some one can help me and thank you.
Down hire are my system logs:

unsupported bus type 'scsi'

looks like you have scsi disk and your run 2.6.18 - no scsi bus for KVM guest available. change your guest to IDE disk, depending on your guest OS this will just work or needs adaption.
 
Thank you for the tip, but i can't delete my drive. Because then my data will be lost. Is there a way to install a kernel with scsi support? Or to down grade to a older kernel? Thanks
 
Re: New Proxmox VE Kernels (2.6.18 - 2.6.24 - 2.6.32)

When you delete a drive from a guest in PVE, it simply becomes un-allocated & sits in a purgatory until you delete it from disk or re-apply it to the machine- and you can change the interface with which it communicates with that guest at the time you re-allocate it. You don't lose data. It's useful.

  1. go to the hardware tab, remove the SCSI drive (from the config, not from the disk).
  2. add a new harddrive - the old one should be available and add it with IDE
  3. go to options and select the IDE disk for booting
maybe you try this with a another KVM guest that you get familiar with this process.

or go for 2.6.24 (with scsi KVM guest support). but 2.6.18 has the stable OpenVZ.
 
Thanks for the detailed work sheet, and i madded to change from scsi to ide. but i can't start it neither. I hope there is a way to get the data back!
 
Re: New Proxmox VE Kernels (2.6.18 - 2.6.24 - 2.6.32)

After install a new Proxmox 1.5 I update to the new Proxmox VE Kernel 2.6.24 and 2.6.32. But when I boot from xx.24- or xx.26-Kernel the system will a filesytem-check. Why that? When I boot from xx.18-2 kernel the system starts normal. The file-system is OK with the xx.18-2 kernel.

regards
K.W.
 
Re: New Proxmox VE Kernels (2.6.18 - 2.6.24 - 2.6.32)

do you have the right time in the server bios? and does ntp work? any logs from the file-system?
 
Re: New Proxmox VE Kernels (2.6.32) Feedback, HR-RTC issue solved

The openvz teams now seems to be working on a 2.6.32 kernel. Would proxmox continue openvz if they include their work into the new kernels?
 
Re: New Proxmox VE Kernels (2.6.32) Feedback, HR-RTC issue solved

we follow all news on OpenVZ in detail.
 
Re: New Proxmox VE Kernels (2.6.32) Feedback, HR-RTC issue solved

we use on a windows xp kvm a time critical application under Kernel 2.6.18 but have a time drift from 10 second within one minute. We changed the kernel from 2.6.18 to 2.6.24 an the time drift issue is gone but now i cant do live migration with the kernel that works with 2.6.18 :(
