[PVE-User] Node update that went awry...

[David Thompson]

Hi all,

I have a 2 node system running (non HA) on an intel modular server. The configuration is as follows:

3 X 140GB Hard Drives split in RAID 5 for proxmox boot systems
4 X 900GB Hard Drives (with lun share key) for proxmox KVM images.

I followed the extending local container storage article here:
http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Extending_Local_Container_Storage
and this one here:
http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Intel_Modular_Server#Pool2:_Shared_LVM_storage_for_KVM_guests

And everything has been going swimmingly. I decided today to update it from the .16 kernel to the .17 kernel. I know if it ain't broke don't fix it. One day I will follow that golden rule.
The update on the first node went well. I migrated all the VM's and containers from the first node to the second node before updating and everything is running fine. 
When I went to restart node1, it wouldn't boot off the new kernel.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The error that I get on the boot screen is:
	Booting 'Proxmox Virtual Environment GNU/Linuc, with'
Loading Linux 2.6.23-16.pve
error: file not found
Loading Initial ramdisk ...
error: you need to boot both default and fallback entries
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was then able to choose the 2.6.32-11-pve kernel to boot off of and all appeared to be fine, however, when ever I try and update it (aptitude and or apt-get) shows nothing to update. So I manually updated the kernels with the following:
	apt-get install pve-kernel-2.6.32-16-pve
	apt-get install pve-headers-2.6.32-16-pve

It installed, but I got the following error 

Generating grub.cfg ...
/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: Couldn't find PV pv1. Check your device.map.

-->> I have read from googling that removing /boot/grub/grub.cfg will regenerate the device.map file with an apt-get -f install, but I don't want to do any damage to this. I am also currently afraid to reboot this node server in case it doesn't come back either with the new proper current kernel and or the older kernel.

The other issue is when I got it back up and running, I tried to migrate one of the windows 2008 servers from the KVMStorage on node2 back to node1 and I got the following error:

Sorry, this is a long email with a couple of issues that have occurred from what was supposed to be a simple update. 
Thanks to anyone that can help out with my problem...
