[PVE-User] New Proxmox VE Kernels 2.6.24 and 2.6.32, including KVM 0.12.3 and gPXE network boot

[Martin Maurer]

Hi all,

We just uploaded new 2.6.24 and 2.6.32 kernels to our pvetest repository.
(deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian lenny pvetest).

Both kernel branches are using qemu-kvm 0.12.3 and gPXE 1.0. Network boot should work now without issues, tested also with Microsoft WDS from Win2008 r2.

Both kernels are tested in our lab and I encourage everybody to test also.
