Proxmox migration 1.9 -> 4.2

[Tom Law]

Hi all, I encountered a problem while working on a vz migration. We have been running a proxmox VE 1.9 and two opnvz are running. One base is fedora core 3 and the other is 4. We planned a proxmox migration from 1.9 to the latest version 4.2 recently. The proxmox 1.9 is the host previously and we try to install proxmox 4.2 under ESXi this time.

The command I used for restore is pct restore. A error message is appeared.

Detected container architecture: i386

unsupported fedora release 'Fedora Core release 4 (Stentz)'

I guess the fedora core is too old so proxmox 4.2 does not support it anymore(exactly wording from the error message). Anyone have an idea of how to restore a very old version fedora in proxmox 4.2?

Much thanks from proxmox beginner
Tom

Fedore Core 4 is end of life for over 10 years! It's like to ask if someone could migrate windows ME to Proxmox VE.
Upgrade the services you're running on the box to a recent version of Linux.

If you still want to migrate the physical machine 1.9 to a Proxmox VE 4.2 KVM VM and let it run there forever.

proxmox 4 use lxc as container now, and not all os are supported . (I don't think old os like this will works).

Best is to migrate to a kvm vm, or use proxmox 3
