I am sure someone has asked this before, but I can not search for kernel versions. Is the current kernel version of 2.6.32 just cause the future OpenVZ is going to use this kernel or are you guys going to update the newer kernel versions in the future for the KVM only option?
newer Kernels for KVM?

I think the mail reason why Proxmox is going to use 2.6.32 is that Red Hat is probably going to use it as a base kernel for RHEL6 and Cannonical for Ubuntu Lucid Lynx (which is LTS). As you can see current stable kernel is from RHEL5 (2.6.18) and from Ubuntu Hardy LTS (2.6.24).
It looks like Debian Squezze is going for 2.6.32, for Ubuntu Lucid its already fixed, about Redhat6 are just rumors, nothing official yet.
Our current development environment for Proxmox VE 2.x is running on 2.6.32, squeeze based.

Wow, thats a lot of people using 1 kernel. I am assuming Proxmox will stay on this kernel for a while then. That link about the kernels just makes me think the same thing. I know this is probably not recommended but would proxmox continue to run on a newer kernel that is not a pve-kernel? I am having an issue with my server I just set up with newer hardware and wanted to see if a newer kernel would help the issue. Unfortunately the problem happens about every couple weeks so it would have to stay on there for a while.
