    [SOLVED] SBS 2003 Only Boots in Safe Mode

    Re: SBS 2003 Only Boots in Safe Mode Ok so taking a cue from our proc discussion, I switched the CPU type from the default of kvm64 to kvm32 - and guess what? It works!!!

    [SOLVED] SBS 2003 Only Boots in Safe Mode

    Re: SBS 2003 Only Boots in Safe Mode Hmm.. well I double checked and the system I'm using doesn't have VT-d capabilities. Also I verified that I already have 1 CPU, 1 Core, KVM disabled and ACPI enabled, but it still only boots in safe mode, with a permanent gray bar at the bottom of a black...

    [SOLVED] SBS 2003 Only Boots in Safe Mode

    Hello, I recently installed ProxMox on a system and am having trouble getting my SBS 2003 vm to run. This server was already virtualized and was running as a VMDK under VMware Player.
