Good Day,

First off, I'd like to say how much I've enjoyed PVE over closed-source competitors, such as ESXi - Everything that has worked, has worked extremely well. I've been facing an issue throughout my transition though - I virtualized my physical Windows OS that's been operating on the same server with the goal of GPU pass-thru as my main workstation, but whenever I attempt to transition from KVM64 to my host CPU, windows refuses to boot. I am perfectly able to get into safe-mode, but no luck finding the cause. When booting, the display will freeze and PVE will through out an "internal-error", with little information in the syslog, and the bootlog even less. I've attempted to compare the working and crashing bootlog, but the differences were so major that I couldn't pick anything out.

I've also attempted to repair it using the installation media, with no luck. Nothing I've done has helped, and I don't really know what to do anymore. Thoughts on the steps from here? Thanks.

What CPU do you have in that machine?
 
What CPU do you have in that machine?
I have an Intel Xeon E5520 installed. Ended up solving the problem by reinstalling Proxmox - I think the package repository definitely played a part (I believe I misconfigured it) as well as choosing an incorrect bus type for the drive image. For anyone experiencing the same issue, I encourage you to try a few different bus types or a whole reinstall (if possible). I'll mark it as solved. Thank you.
