vzctl complaining after upgrade (vzeventd module not found)

[MattCaron]

Morning all,

So, I came in and did my normal morning:

sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude full-upgrade

And instead of working nicely (as it has for the past year and a half or so), I get this:

Setting up vzctl (3.0.26-1pve3) ...
FATAL: Module vzevent not found.
Checking vzevent kernel module .....failed
invoke-rc.d: initscript vzeventd, action "start" failed.

A package failed to install.  Trying to recover:

Now, it's obvious to me that vzeventd is angry, and I don't find an vzevent.ko module anywhere on the system, so it's likely that is the culprit.

I'd just remove vzctl (all our VMs are KVM-based), except that pve-manager depends on it, and I assume that is important.

I don't see an obvious package which provides the vzevent module, and it doesn't seem that anyone else has had this problem.

Anyone have any ideas?

post the output of pveversion -v to see whats wrong.

(vzeventd module not found means you do not run a suitable kernel)

if you still run the already outdated 2.6.24 you need to upgrade to a maintained kernel, e.g. 2.6.18 or 2.6.32

Sorry about that, meant to and forgot:

Ah, thanks for that. I shall do so.

I'll also subscribe to the mailing list in the hopes that I'll get a heads up in the future.

2.6.24 does not support vzeventd, so its not working anymore with the latest vzctl.
