ARM64 VM on Proxmox

[Cirrus]

I am trying to install ARM64 (Raspberry Pi kernel) VM om my Proxmox server but it returning with errors. I am following https://i12bretro.github.io/tutorials/0661.html tutorial.

My configuration for VM is


#vmgenid%3A c536c9cf-a7f3-476d-8c7d-6b6d55db8974
arch: aarch64
bios: ovmf

sockets: 1
unused0: local-lvm:vm-222-disk-1
vga: serial0

When i am tying to start the VM it returning an error

qemu-system-aarch64: -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=virtioscsi0,bus=pcie.3,addr=0x1: Bus 'pcie.3' not found
TASK ERROR: start failed: QEMU exited with code 1

Any idea what's wrong with my setup?

If i change VirtIO SCSI Single to VirtIO SCSI i amn not getting same error but VM will not start anyway. In terminal i'm getting

starting serial terminal on interface serial0

It's trying to start from the network; is that intentional? Please double check the boot order. Maybe use IDE for the ISO? Maybe even install PVE 7 in a VM and try to create it there (as things may have changed between PVE versions)?

 

[Cirrus]

I've changed boot order to ISO image (CD) first.

boot: order=scsi2;scsi0;net0

It will not boot and defaults to network at last.

I will try PVE 7, thanx!

leesteken has already advised you to use IDE for the CD-Rom bus, but you don't seem to have tried.

efidisk0: local-lvm:vm-222-disk-2,efitype=4m,size=64M

This site which your tutorial is based on uses the raw format for the efidisk, as shown on that site:

efidisk0: local:100/vm-3007-disk-0.raw,size=64M

so maybe remove your efidisk from the VM, & add one in raw format.

One other thing I notice, the site you base your install on & the one he bases himself on, are both doing a Debian 10/11 ARM64 install. Yours is the Raspios bookworm based one - so very different indeed.

Another thing; Why don't you just use the officially released Raspberry Pi Desktop for PC ISO from here?

 

[Cirrus]

IDE for the CD-Rom did not work
....neither did downgrading do PVE7
i found a video of tutorial and he has no elfidisk setup in his config att all

Actually i want to install Paspi bookworm just for test. I have a lot of RPis with specific images that i want to use as VMs, PrusaLink for example.

How do i create a RAW efidisk?

How do i create a RAW efidisk?

One way; if you already have the VM setup, in the GUI go to the VM's Hardware, choose from Add (dropdown on top) EFI Disk then choose desired Storage & then under that Format you can choose Raw.

....neither did downgrading do PVE7

If the guide did not work in the situation it was written for, maybe you can ask the maker of the guide what is wrong?

 

[Cirrus]

I did manage it to it install on PVE7, kind off. It only worked with the image form the guide Debian ARM64 iso. Non of other ARM64 RPi images worked.
On PVE8 with same Debian image i'm geting:

TASK ERROR: EFI base image '/usr/share/pve-edk2-firmware//AAVMF_CODE.fd' not found

Which looks to be a known pve-edk2-firmware-aarch64 issue in PVE8.1

is there any way to emulate armhf or is it limited to arm64?
