proxmox 2.6.24-10 on Hetzner

[Andreas]

Hi all,

I have read several posts in this forum about installing Proxmox on Hetzner EQ4 Server.

My problem is that 2.6.32 installs and runs well - but 2.6.24 doesn't even boot. I need 2.6.24 because using openvz is essential for us.

Is there any workaround known out there?

Thanks

Andreas

If OpenVZ is essential for you, go for 2.6.18 (Stable OpenVZ)

that's strange, 2.6.24-10-pve runs perfectly on my EQ4.

Hi,

I have a new EQ4 server and did a fresh install (I'm using OpenVZ, no KVM).
With pve-kernel-2.6.24-12-pve it seems to be unstable. I got various problems :
- when starting/stopping vz service, it takes several minutes for "Bringing down interface venet0" (with the server frozen and high load average)
- when rebooting the server after migrating a VM, I had to make a hard reset because it was stuckt on an error "kernel:unregister_netdevice: waiting for lo", but couldn't reproduce it anymore.
I'm now running pve-kernel-2.6.18-4-pve and it seems to be better.

Hi Andreas,

When you downgrade the Kernel, did you mention to remove /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules to get it automatically rebuilt on next boot.

The older Kernel finds the NIC again and make a new entry in 70-persistent-net.rules.
So you reboot an the NIC is now eth1 and you cant access your server from outside anymore, because your IP-Config is for eth0.

This did the Trick for me,

You can boot your rescue system and edit this /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules, but to remove it is faster anyway.

Good luck,
