Hi everyone! After update Proxmox 8.4.1 Windows 11 is not installed.

The installation OS starts, but then stops with the message "Your system does not meet the minimum requirements"

Error this:

Hello vov1969!

Could you please try to see whether setting the CPU type to something else, e.g. host, would help?

We already tryed setting the CPU type "host", but this doesn't help.

I changed the network adapter to E1000 for network installation - There isn't enough memory available to create a ramdisk device, status 0xc0000017
 
Hi,
please post the output of /etc/pve/storage.cfg. The commandline shows cache=writethrough while the VM configuration has cache=writeback, did you change that in the meantime? Please also post the current output of qm config 197 and qm showcmd 197 --pretty.
 
Please also share the system logs/journal starting from the time the VM is first started until the issue occurs.
