How old is this installation ? GRUB1 has been unsupported for at least 50 cores.

I can confirm having the same issue.

Installation is old… about core 105 or so…
Its an APU2C4…

If you are not running a xen system with pygrub delete
/boot/grub/grub.conf and try again.

I’m on Xen but now finally migrated my old 32 Bit PVM to a 64 Bit HVM version. The only that was a bit cumbersome was the migration of the .rrd files from 32 to 64 Bit. Except that everything went very smooth.

Just a question. Why do you use Xen? It is possible, but IPFire just has more power if running standalone on the APU. Just my humble opinion.

Well, since I have only one server on hardware providing different services for my household as virtual instances. For me IPfire running with 2 cores and 4GB is performant enough and the performance gain on bare metal isn’t that dramatic nowadays.
I started with virtualization back when Xen was on a 3.x version, I never had a valid reason to switch to anything different.

Hi,

is there any solution for this. I’have three IP-Fire running with XEN and they are stuck with .145.

Thank’s in advance
