Update a running Proxmox Virtual Environment V 1.x to the latest version
These instructions should be used for all standard Proxmox VE 1.x installations.
Note: If you got a custom installation (e.g. from your hosting provider like OVH) you should contact your provider for update instructions.
Update your repository and packages
apt-get update
If you get any errors, your sources.list (or your network) has a problem. Before you update your system, you should stop all your running VM´s.
Now you can install the new software packages (incl. Kernel):
apt-get dist-upgrade
Finally reboot and check if you got the latest Proxmox VE packages:

Review and correct the sources.list
We changed the repositories so you need to correct your list.
nano /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian etch main # PVE packages provided by proxmox.com deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian etch pve # security updates deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main
Add the Proxmox VE repository key:
wget -O- "http://download.proxmox.com/debian/key.asc" | apt-key add -
Update your repository and install the new packages
apt-get update
If you get any errors, your sources.list (or your network) has a problem.
Before you update your system, you should stop all your running VM´s.
apt-get dist-upgrade
Update the list of Virtual Appliances:
pveam update
We changed the boot loader from lilo to grub, so you need to install grub:
mkdir /boot/grub apt-get install grub
Now you can install the new Kernel:
apt-get install proxmox-ve pve-kernel
Install grub into the MBR to use the new Kernel:
grub-install hd0
Finally reboot and check if you got the latest Proxmox VE packages:
Kernel version:
