Now i tried again and looked at the youtube howto for 2008 server. i used the same settings, but instead auf nfs i used the default image store. now i see the vm in the images folder, but cant start it nor delete it. damn not self explain system, the 1.9 was easy for starting.
 
works here. if you cannot start a VM you will get an error message.
 
which settings for win7 64bit? my last try, with configuratino from the 2008 youtube clip, ends au with an entry in the iso or local storage with no possibility to start or remove. the first try creates an vm entry an the same level as the iso and local store. i hate the id thing to, why not automatic..?
 
if you do not want to learn a new system do not try a beta system - win7 works great so you are doing obviously something wrong - see again the existing docs and the demo tutorials on YouTube.

please respect the forum rules, be always friendly and deeply grateful for all help is given to you from other people.
 
You are right. Sorry iam a bit frustrated. I search in the web and here but i cant create the win7 vm. why will the new vm shown in the storage? what are the settings to get it run?
 
I do not get you issue, pls make a screenshot to show it here.
 
no error here. this is the view of the storage, showing the new disk.
 
why new disk? i clickt on the button for new vm, top right, ??? if i choose ide and realtek i get a real vm pc on the left. it was in 1.9 easier to create a vm.
 
if you create a new VM, also new disk virtual disk is created as you specified it on the create wizard - how should it work without it?
 
Thats right and ok, but where is the real vm after creation? when i understand you correct, i see the new virtual disk of my vm, but where is the machine to start up?
 
Thx, embarressing. I thougt i checked that. damn.
Ok, now i get the same as on top of my post:
Could not access KVM kernel module: No such file or directory

and
kvm hardwarevirtualisation is enabled and vt in the hostbios too
and
lsmod | grep kvm
kvm 304681 0
modprobe kvm-intel
FATAL: Error inserting kvm_intel (/lib/modules/2.6.32-6-pve/kernel/arch/x86/kvm/kvm-intel.ko): Operation not supported

Damn again, i thought it was enabled in the bios, but it wasn. Now the vm starts, but i cant connect via the console:
no connection : Connection timed out
TASK ERROR: command '/bin/nc -l -p 5900 -w 10 -c '/usr/sbin/qm vncproxy 100 2>/dev/null'' failed: exit code 1

now i found out, that the image was corrupt, take the cd and it boots, but no win7 install didnt find a valid disk?!
