Host don´t boot after creating a Win8/2012 guest

[L2x2]

Hello...


We have only one guest (Windows 2012 Server), which i have migrated from VMware guest. The guest was running the whole day very closely, so i activated the auto-start option.
After restarting the host hangs during the boot process with the message "Waiting for vmbr0 to get ready (MAXWAIT 2 seconds)."


The web interface and console is not accessible.


I tried to boot with a Knoppix-CD, but i failed to mount the system disk.


How can I fix it anyway?

Re: Host don´t boot afer setting autostart-option in guest

It seems its not to be a problem of autostart...


I have re-installed Proxmox and create an empty VM with select OS-option "Microsoft Windows 8/2012 (win8)".

Beyond booting the host stops again at the "Waiting for vmbr0 to get ready (MAXWAIT is 2 seconds)." message.

I have a 4 nodes in a cluster and have seen this when quorum is not successful

bootlog might be of some help.

Re: Host don´t boot afer setting autostart-option in guest

now I have again completely relaunched and installed as guest a Windows Server 2008R2.
2008 is in the moment enough for us...


The boot log is a good tip, but how do I get access when the host hangs on boot?
