PVE 1.4 kernel freezing

I'm trying to install PVE1.4 on top of an existing Debian Lenny installation on a AMD phenom x3720 server in a data center (via a Lantronix KVM).

The data center admin staff wouldn't install proxmox from baremetal, hence the reason I'm trying to install it on an existing Lenny install.

Debian boots just fine, but when I try booting with the PVE Kernel 2.6.24-9-pve, it hangs very early in the process.

The full boot messages are:

Code: 
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
kernel /vmlinux-2.6.24-9-pve root=/dev/sda5 ro
  [Linux-bzImage, setup=0x2c00, size=0x1ffa08]
initrd /initrd.img-2.6.24-9-pve
  [Linux-initrd @ 0x372f1000, 0xcfe7d2 bytes]


Kernel alive
Kernel direct mapping tables up to 100000000 @ 8000-d000
At that point, the only thing I can do is reboot with the standard Lenny kernel.

I tried using the test kernel, ie: 2.6.24-10-pve which does boot, but vzctl won't install with a message saying no openvz kernel found

Perhaps I'm missing a step somewhere, although it's getting quite messy now.

Here's the messages I'm getting after booting with 2.6.32-1-pve

I don't necessarily want to update from the pvetest repository. I just want to boot a kernel that won't hang.

I still have the same problem

I have previously tried removing all the pve packages and reinstalling them, but with the same results.
 
Just to expand on the above, I started from a totally clean debian system and try to install the newer kernel.

I then thought I try to do the install with 2.6.32-1-pve running, as I assumed the reason I got the "Running kernel is not OpenVZ kernel...failed" error was due to me trying to install running a vanilla Debian kernel.

However, I got the same results, ie:

OK, here is a workaround. Please edit /etc/vz/vz.conf and set:

VIRTUOZZO=no

Does that fix the problem?
 
Setting

VIRTUOZZO=no

in /etc/vz/vz.conf allows

apt-get install proxmox-ve-2.6.32

to complete successfully.

But you're saying that 2.6.32 has no openvz support? What's the latest kernel I can use with openvz support? Alternatively, how do I downgrade to 2.6.18?
 
At this point, I think I'm screwed. Here's a summary of the various kernels

2.6.18-1-pve - boots, but no interfaces come up. Gets the error
eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device

2.6.24-9-pve - Freezes very early in the boot process (see original post for the message.)

2.6.24-10-pve - Same as 2.6.24-9-pve


2.6.32-1-pve - Boots fine, but needs VIRTUOZZO=no set. Kernel doesn't support openvz, which is what I need.


Have I come to a dead end here?

Click to expand...

Please can you send me the output of 'dmesg' (to dietmar@proxmox.com)?
 
Code: 
e1000: eth0: e1000_probe: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection
udev: renamed network interface eth0 to eth1

Seems the device is renamed to eth1 - not sure why.
 
Finally fixed :D

Thank you very much.


/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules had the entry

Code: 
# PCI device 0x8086:0x107c (e1000)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:1b:21:4d:a1:d1", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth1"

which I changed to eth0.
