Reverting from 2.6.24 to 2.6.18

If I have a few openVZ containers and KVM VM's running 2. 6. 24 can I revert to 2.6.18 with no problems?

Hi,
you don't have scsi-support (for kvm-guests) with 2.6.18. If you use only ide, it's ok.

for openVZ guests there is no problem. only some windows KVM´s can complain about new hardware and needs reboot, depending on you licensing it could be necessary to reactivate the windows because of some "hardware" changes.

I move some production system from 2.6.24 to 2.6.18 without any issues. just remember the hint from Udo regarding the missing scsi on 2.6.18 for KVM guests.
