The system log shows recurring entries for pvestatd[pid] CPU flag detection failed, will try again after delay.
See below.
This doesn't appear to be causing problems.
Proxmox, the two Debian containers and one Windows 10 VM are working as expected.
However why does this occur?
Is this a bug?
Or simply due to using an older CPU? See below.
Can Proxmox be configured so these log entries don't occur? i.e. for cleaner logs.
A thread was raised last year for a similar issue on similar hardware however no info/solution was posted.
