Debian 12 VM Boot Issue on Proxmox – Need Help

[Dune76]

Hello,

I decided to set up a server running Debian 12 to host my own Minecraft server. I’m using a virtual machine on Proxmox, hosted on a Dell PowerEdge R510.

Here is the VM configuration (modified from my screenshot):

• CPU: 1 socket, 6 cores
• Hard drive: SATA

The Debian installation goes smoothly, but after rebooting, the VM gets stuck on "Booting from hard disk" in Proxmox. However, the boot order is correctly configured and points to the disk containing the system.

I have also checked that virtualization is enabled in the BIOS. To troubleshoot the issue, I tested with two other disks, including one that previously worked (the server belonged to a colleague before, and he didn’t have this issue).

If you have any ideas or advice on how to fix this problem, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

Hi @Dune76,

could you please send us the config of the VM?
Fund in /etc/pve/qemu-server/<vm-id>.conf

Looks like something is miss configured or so.

Just a friendly reminder:
This is the Sub-Forum of Proxmox Datacenter Manager a software to manage multiple clusters.
Your inquiry would be Proxmox VE
