Failing to boot Home Assistant qcow2 image disk - UEFI Access Denied

[macamba]

How does importing an existing QCOW disk work?
I created a VM, stored the QCOW home assisant disk on storage, and then manual renamed it to the disk name as created by the VM.
Or is there a fancier option which just allows you to select the disk via the Proxmox webgui?

Disabling 'Secure Boot' does not get my Home Assistant to work btw?

I used this as a guide :
https://mangolassi.it/topic/21751/import-a-qcow2-into-proxmox

Worked for me once I changed from Seabios to UEFI bios.

maybe it does not boot with secure boot on? try either unchecking the 'pre-enrolled keys' checkbox, or deactivate secure boot in ovmf

This solved my issue, great advice!

Disabling Secure boot fixed my problem. I should have updated my post earlier, sorry.



Not in your host machine, but in the Proxmox VM. When you see the Proxmox logo when booting a VM, hit escape and then go to Device Manager -> Secure Boot Configuration then disable Attempt Secure Boot.

Created an account just to thank you for this -- most appreciated! )

Hi,
On option of the VM go to boot order
enable the disk and drag to the top
And start the vm again, that works for me

Thanks for the tip. Disable secure boot worked for haos_ova-7.1.qcow2.
Found a great guide to fix this.

Hi, just to let you all know, this works on the latest proxmox 8.2.4 upgraded from 7.4

2025 is calling to say this is still the fix. Came here when failing to use OVMF as BIOS for VM's for GPU passthrough.
