Could not access KVM kernel module: No such file or directory kvm: failed to initialize KVM: No such file or directory

Hello,

In a proxmox server I have 2 Container and 2 VM.

The 4 were working well correctly , until yesterday we had a power cut. The containers start correctly but I can't get the VMs to work.

I get the error:


VM 100 not running
TASK ERROR: Failed to run vncproxy.

In the two VMs.

I have another proxmox server, in which I also have VMs and containers and in that it starts all correctly.
I clarify that I am not an expert in proxmox since the person who configured everything is not there.

hi,

Could not access KVM kernel module: No such file or directory
kvm: failed to initialize KVM: No such file or directory

it seems the KVM module is not loaded so the VM cannot start.

you can check ls -l /dev/kvm and lsmod | grep kvm to check if the kvm device exists (but it seems that it isn't!)

The 4 were working well correctly , until yesterday we had a power cut. The containers start correctly but I can't get the VMs to work.

if you have backups of the VMs then you could reinstall that node and restore the backups. since you had a power cut you should also check for any hardware related issues. if you have regular power cuts then maybe you should also invest in a UPS device

Check if VT is still enabled in your BIOS, maybe the power cut did a BIOS reset and by default, VT is off.?
