Hello, I'm still in the process of testing proxmox. I followed 2 different guides trying to import VM's from VMware. First just using clonezilla. After multiple attempts ended with "Booting from Hard Disk", I started over and used the VMware method from https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Migration_of_servers_to_Proxmox_VE.

In both instances when everything is imported and I try to boot the vm, it just hangs at "Booting from Hard Disk...". It's a Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Server VM i'm trying to migrate.

Also tried making bios EFI as suggested here https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/m...k-on-booting-from-hard-disk.56108/post-258483 by using the Hardware > Add > "EFI Disk" based on https://192.168.35.4:8006/pve-docs/chapter-qm.html#qm_bios_and_uefi

Any idea how to resolve this?

Update:
The Add "EFI Disk" method did NOT work with the VMware export method. However after re-migrating with clonezilla to a new blank KVM with a EFi Boot Disk already added, it booted without issue.
