MS Server 2003 won't run

psychoplot · Jan 17, 2011

I have proxmox 1.5 installed... and loaded an ISO image of Server 2003.... when it is running it has 98 percent cpu usage and when I open the vnc console it says: "Fatal: No Bootable Device" --- I selected IDE interface.... tried uploading it twice in Binary, and once in automatic through scp... I know the iso works because I can burn it and run it...

Any Suggestions?

win2003 is known to run without problems. but before we investigate here, I suggest you update to the latest Proxmox VE, see http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Downloads#Update_a_running_Proxmox_Virtual_Environment_to_1.7

Hi,
you have selected cd-rom as first boot-device for the VM?

Hi,
of course you must transfer the iso as binary!
And "no bootable device" is right with an fresh and empty hd as boot-device.
Change the boot-order to cdrom as first boot-device. Power down VM, and start again.
If your iso are valid, you will boot from CD!

Boot failed: Could not read from CDROM (code 0001)

Hi,
there must be something wrong with your cdrom-iso. Look with

Code:

md5sum /var/lib/vz/template/iso/CDROM-FILE.iso

and compare the hash with the original ISO. There must be the same! If there anything difference, your iso aren't valid.
Normal isos you can upload fine with the proxmox-gui. If the iso-size 2GB or above, you can use scp.
