Supported kernels / roadmap

[geert]

Hi,

We're evaluating Proxmox but hit some IPv6 bugs, mainly the one as described in http://forum.proxmox.com/threads/21218-Proxmox-VE-IPv6-Problems
But now i'm wondering what is supported and what not?

- Stock kernel 2.6.32-147 does not work
- From the pvetest repo 2.6.32-156 seems to work ok
- From Debian backports repo 3.16.0 seems to works ok (we don't need OpenVZ)

Do you provide support on those test kernels? Or when would a pvetest kernel go into the supported repo? Or can we use the pve 3.10 Jessie kernel?

I assume currently the only supported solution is one with broken v6 which is absolutely a no-go for us, so just wondering what to expect

Thanks;
Geert

this one is outdated.

- From the pvetest repo 2.6.32-156 seems to work ok

this kernel is latest stable and the way to go (not only in pvetest).
see also http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Downloads#Update_a_running_Proxmox_Virtual_Environment_3.x_to_latest_3.4

if you do not need openvz, you can try our 3.10 kernel branch (based on RHEL7). known to work great.
(apt-get install pve-kernel-3.10.0-10-pve). we do not recommend or support Debian kernels.

Ok great thanks. I've installed from proxmox-ve_3.4-3f2d890e-1.iso and that contains the -147.
We don't have access (yet) on enterprise.proxmox.com, the latest available at download.proxmox.com/debian/dists/wheezy/pve/binary-amd64/ is -114 and the v6 fix was applied in -149 so I had no other option than using the pvetest repo.

This is actually a question we have. Is this officially supported? E.g. if we buy a subscription can we install the pve-kernel-3.10 and still be in a "supported situation"?
