Proxmox 1.9 with Debian 6.0 basesystem

[rmoglia]

Until 2.0 not ready for prodution enviroments it´s possible idea make a version of actual pmox 1.9 with Squeeze base system.
I think about it because EOL security support of lenny is near of end of cycle now lenny is set as old stable.

I´m testing 2.0 now and some basic resources is missing now this one idea
i´m start checking sources packages and check avaliability todo it.

Anyone share the same idea and colab on this thing?

Please post opinions and sugestions here.

For example i´m making a fresh machine now and need install old stable to make pmox working and missing ext4 features for example.

if you're familiar with debian´s package management you can do it yourself. (you have solve some package depencies manual)

i´m running proxmox ve 1.8/1.9 on debian 6 with self compiled kernel 3.0/3.1 without any problems

please could you tell me how...a pn would be great...i just managed to install pve 1.9 on a standard lenny install (beacuse of 4tb raid set)...thanks in advance

You can do it this way on an running proxmox 1.8/1.9

apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get install proxmox-ve-2.6.35

nano /etc/apt/sources.list

and change

deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian lenny main contrib
to
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian stable main contrib

and

deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib
to
deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib

do NOT change this line
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian lenny pve

apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade

leave all default on the popup windows

dpkg-reconfigure locales

and select your locale (I use de_DE.UTF-8)

reboot

http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Install_Proxmox_VE_on_Debian_Lenny
but change

 deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib
 to 
deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib

and

deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian lenny main contrib 
to 
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian stable main contrib

build the kernel like this tutorial should work
http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_debian_etch
you only have to change the kernel revision to your desired one

it´s sounds great let´s get started to create a repository.

I do the upgrade most of features worked admin web panel and openvz with
kernel openvz compiled for debian on official repositories but the KVM don´t started.

FATAL: Error inserting kvm_intel (/lib/modules/2.6.32-6-pve/kernel/arch/x86/kvm/kvm-intel.ko): Operation not supported

Typing dmesg comand return-me it.

eth0: no IPv6 routers present
kvm: disabled by bios
kvm: disabled by bios
kvm: disabled by bios

I don´t no if this disabled or not because it´s a remote machine. I will try soon as possible on local machine.

Tested kernels:

2.6.32-6-pve and 2.6.32-5-openvz-amd64

Grub will be replaced i used upgrade-from-grub-legacy and update-grub and edited /etc/default/grub for change default kernel.

Prob kvm don´t work because need any kernel recompilations bauner you apply any special patch or someting like that?

On time my objective is provide a debianized kernel to make everyting work.

Anyone have any news about this process?
