When trying to create a new virtual machine from a downloaded Virtual Appliance I get this:

Code: 
[Long command string omitted] failed with exit code 5:
Unable to open /dev/vzctl: No such file or directory
Please check that vzdev kernel module is loaded and you have sufficient permissions to access the file.
I am logged into the GUI as root, so this is a bit of a surprise. Any advice?


Kinds regards,

Hi,
do you use an kernel with openvz-support (2.6.18, or 2.6.24)?

Ahum. I guess I have made a fool of myself. When I read the howto on how to upgrade I saw there were three kernels. I simply went for the one with the highest number (32) thinking it was the newest. Replacing it should be as simple as a quick apt-get, so I'll try that and see what happens.

Thanks a lot!
 
Hi just for says I have the same problem solved with the same solution
And don't forget to clean you menu.lst ;)
It's a bug ?

Thanks

i'm using PVE 1.6 with 2.6.32-25 kernel.

Code: 
proxmox:~# pveversion -v
pve-manager: 1.6-5 (pve-manager/1.6/5261)
running kernel: 2.6.35-1-pve
proxmox-ve-2.6.35: 1.6-7
pve-kernel-2.6.32-4-pve: 2.6.32-25
pve-kernel-2.6.35-1-pve: 2.6.35-7
qemu-server: 1.1-22
pve-firmware: 1.0-9
libpve-storage-perl: 1.0-14
vncterm: 0.9-2
vzctl: 3.0.24-1pve4
vzdump: 1.2-8

vzquota: 3.0.11-1
pve-qemu-kvm: 0.12.5-2
ksm-control-daemon: 1.0-4
but everytime i create the OpenVZ in the VM, i get this error message:
Code: 
/usr/bin/pvectl vzcreate 104 --disk 8 --ostemplate local:vztmpl/debian-4.0-proxmox-mailgateway_2.6-2_i386.tar.gz --rootpasswd $1$X9LrHngw$62BsDHxNKDTQXbu58GkLu/ --hostname mgate.mbs.co.id --nameserver 172.16.4.16 --nameserver 172.16.4.52 --searchdomain mbs.co.id --onboot no --ipset 172.16.4.22 --swap 512 --mem 512 --cpus 1

Hi,
you run the 2.6.35 kernel! This kernel is kvm-only. If you wan't to use OpenVZ use 2.6.32 or 2.6.18.

Hi,
your pveversion shows that you have allready the 2.6.32:
Code: 
proxmox:~# pveversion -v
pve-manager: 1.6-5 (pve-manager/1.6/5261)
running kernel: 2.6.35-1-pve
proxmox-ve-2.6.35: 1.6-7
pve-kernel-2.6.32-4-pve: 2.6.32-25
pve-kernel-2.6.35-1-pve: 2.6.35-7
...
you need only to select the right kernel during boot - or (better) change the order in /boot/grub/menu.lst (i guess "default 1", or switch the config-lines).
