[PVE-User] 1.9 6567 win2008 R2 install problem

[Tonči Stipičević]

Hi to everybody

SInce I upgraded to pve-manager/1.9/6567
I'm not able to install win2008 R2 !

pveversion -v  looks like:

pve1:~# pveversion -v
pve-manager: 1.9-26 (pve-manager/1.9/6567)
running kernel: 2.6.32-6-pve
proxmox-ve-2.6.32: 1.9-50
pve-kernel-2.6.32-6-pve: 2.6.32-50
qemu-server: 1.1-32
pve-firmware: 1.0-14
libpve-storage-perl: 1.0-19
vncterm: 0.9-2
vzctl: 3.0.29-3pve1
vzdump: 1.2-16
vzprocps: 2.0.11-2
vzquota: 3.0.11-1
pve-qemu-kvm: 0.15.0-1
ksm-control-daemon: 1.0-6


The message I got is allways :
A required cd/dvd drive device driver is missing. If ...

I tried to solve this by attaching latest virtio iso-s  but (in spite I 
allready know that it does not influence that) this didn't help too.




But, on the previous configuration :

pve-manager: 1.9-24 (pve-manager/1.9/6542)
running kernel: 2.6.35-2-pve
proxmox-ve-2.6.35: 1.8-13
pve-kernel-2.6.32-4-pve: 2.6.32-33
pve-kernel-2.6.35-2-pve: 2.6.35-13
qemu-server: 1.1-32
pve-firmware: 1.0-14
libpve-storage-perl: 1.0-19
vncterm: 0.9-2
vzctl: 3.0.29-2pve1
vzdump: 1.2-16
vzprocps: 2.0.11-2
vzquota: 3.0.11-1
pve-qemu-kvm: 0.15.0-1
ksm-control-daemon: 1.0-6

There was not any such issue !


Any hint/help would be very very appreciated !

thank you na best regards in advance
