PAE Kernel Problem [message #36605]

Sat, 04 July 2009 16:03

Hi,

I'm trying to install Openvz with debian lenny on my old 32 Bit Machine.

I've made it like this:

Quote:

apt-get install linux-image-openvz-686 vzctl vzquota

then

Quote:

ln -s /var/lib/vz /vz

then

Quote:

apt-get install cstream

then

Quote:

wget http://www.proxmox.com/cms_proxmox/cms/upload/vzdump/vzdump_ 1.1-1_all.deb

then

Quote:

dpkg -i vzdump_1.1-1_all.deb

And if I now try to start in the OpenVZ Kernel I've got this error:

Quote:

This kernel requires the following features not present on the CPU:
pae
Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU

Now what shall I do?

Best regards, Aless
a

Hi,

please look on the output of

uname -a

.

There you will find which kernel you need. If you have problems, please post the output here and we will try to help you. If there's no kernel for you CPU, then you have a big problem on your hands.

Live Long And Prosper,

Well,

that does not help a lot.

Please look at the output of

cat /proc/cpuinfo

. The lines "model name", "cpu family", "model". "stepping" and "flags" are of interest.

I suppose you have a very old machine (Pentium or less).

Aless,

just try to use a kernel without PAE support.
i'm not sure i can point you to a Debian kernel compiled without PAE, but you can use latest stable kernel based on RHEL5 kernel:

http:// download.openvz.org/kernel/branches/rhel5-2.6.18/028stab062. 3/ovzkernel-2.6.18-128.1.1.el5.028stab062.3.i686.rpm

Should work.
Alternatively you can try to rebuild the kernel without PAE:
http:// wiki.openvz.org/Compiling_the_OpenVZ_kernel_(the_Debian_way)

It's not difficult, you just need to disable CONFIG_PAE option in kernel config before the build.

Hope this helps.

If your problem is solved - please, report it!
It's even more important than reporting the problem itself...
