this is a very old ubuntu 8.04-4 tha unfortunately is a core server that can't be upgraded. we moved from another proxmox version 5.1 and was working fine
as soon as the vm starts originally it had virtio network card but when starts networks works fine for 3 minutes then it stops working (it originally had the virtio drivers installed and working) if we change it to intel it seems to work, but e1000 will crash on kernel panic several times at random times, the only solution is to use virtio but we just get this strange error when vm starts.

we also observed the following errors before the network stops working:
