pveversion output question

[GeneMurray]

Proxmox 3.3 is installed and updated from non-subscription repository for initial testing.


Output of pveversion -v show both of the following:

...
pvekernel-2.6.32-32-pve: 2.6.32-136
pvekernel-2.6.32-34-pve: 2.6.32-140
...

Shouldn't only the latest of these be listed? If so, is there a fix?

Thanks for any help.

I think it is more of Linux issue than Proxmox. Every time a new kernel image is installed the old ones still remains. When you boot your computer you can see a list of all installed kernel image. For the most part it is safe to delete older kernel. It is wise not to delete last kernel immediately after installing a new kernel image incase you have to go back to the old kernel. Following command will delete all but active kernel image:

# apt-get remove $(dpkg -l|egrep '^ii  linux-(im|he)'|awk '{print $2}'|grep -v `uname -r`)

Above would only work if Proxmox used the same naming scheme as standard Debian which it doesn't.

Proper way to remove old kernel is:

apt-get remove pve-kernel-2.6.32-32-pve

Thanks for the prompt answers.

BTW, hello Wasim. I have your book, Mastering Proxmox, and refer to it on a daily basis. I've also been on your book's support forum. Good to see you here.
