Hi,

My environment is a PVE7.1 & X86_64 architecture server; I want to install two test environments on it: Arm Linux and Arm Windows 11.

I found a tutorial online:
https://i12bretro.github.io/tutorials/0661.html

And successfully installed Arm Debian;
Here is my successfully Arm Debian VM Config:

Code:
arch: aarch64
bios: ovmf
boot: order=scsi0;scsi2;net0
cores: 2
efidisk0: thinpoolg:vm-111-disk-1,size=64M
memory: 8196
meta: creation-qemu=6.2.0,ctime=1667033796
name: debianArm.ypc
net0: virtio=5E:45:4C:42:AF:AC,bridge=vmbr0,firewall=1
numa: 0
ostype: other
scsi0: thinpoolg:vm-111-disk-2,cache=writeback,size=100G
scsi2: none,media=cdrom
scsihw: virtio-scsi-pci
serial0: socket
smbios1: uuid=d46dd0ea-f032-47cd-8a9e-fb65be2078d8
sockets: 1
vga: serial0

But I couldn't install Arm Windows with the same configuration. The web console show Black Screen when system startup by CD;
Has anyone done this before? Can I achieve this on PVE?

Thanks.
 
Correct me if I'm wrong: the trick with your Linux VM is that it uses only a serial console = no GUI or TUI, there is just no "physical" text console. Can you run Windows (maybe "Core"?) completely without a graphics card?

Tnank you for your reply;
You are right; the text console just the serial console, I can't run Windows with the same configuration as ArmDebian; The console only shows loading files progress bar and then black screen when startup;
