Hi,
My windows 10 VM was not booting. I've been having issues with it not booting after installing Visual Studio 2015, so I thought I had to reinstall windows 10.
So I tried loading the windows 10 ISO, and that too was failing.
I created a new blank VM for windows 10 and there too the windows 10 iso is not booting.
While writing this post, I also thought it could be an issue with UEFI so I created a non UEFI VM using SeaBIOS. It tries to boot in to the installer, but it just hangs at the blue windows logo.
Some relevant information: My computer is AMD Threadripper 2970WX with 128GB RAM 2x Geforce RTX 2080 Super and one GTX 1060.
I've been messing around with vfio and passthrough to get it working and I thought I undid my changes between it working and not working, but it still won't boot.
I'm also passing through directly an nvme ssd to the windows 10 VM. When I boot the computer into that NVME instead of proxmox, it loads just fine.
One maybe irrelavant information is that I had a power outage when things were working and when I booted up proxmox, my linux VM was/is loading just fine, but not my windows VM.
Here's my configs.
The new VM I was using for trying to boot in to the ISO: (I do need UEFI for GPU passthrough and I would like to keep it on this config)
My grub file:
I can post my VFIO modificatioins in my "/etc/modprobe.d" folder, but it's all the standard stuff from the wiki.
Let me know if there's anything else I can provide.
