[PVE-User] KVM upgrade

[Shain Miley]

Just an FYI....for no other reason then 'because' I decided to mount the 
cdrom (under proxmox)...and that seemed to clear up ALOT of the cdrom 
I/O errors that I was seeing..after that..everything went smoothly..not 
sure what this means....just thought you might like to 
know...again...this is on a Poweredge 2950.
