Hi,

I got case that after uploading the iso the KVM seems not recognize the iso on the cdrom : http://i.imgur.com/skOA04x.png

I had uploaded different iso and the issue still appear, is there something that i misconfigured?

Looking forward for any thought, greatly appreciate your time.

Thank you

Kind regards

if the iso is valid and is loaded into virtual cd, it should boot.
which iso is and where you got i, have you tried a livecd iso?
try compare md5 checksums if available, if you downloaded it, it could be a bad iso file.

and, you could post at least some pve and vm details....
try
pveversion -v
and vmid.conf

Hi,

Thanks for your response.

I got the .iso directly from microsoft : http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=22077
Uploaded to iso directory via ssh.

I also had tried to use the iso from CNET : http://download.cnet.com/Windows-7-and-Windows-Server-2008-R2-SP1-ISO/3000-18513_4-75451017.html

Not working either, both had been downloaded fine imho.

Here are results of pveversion -v :

sorry, this is "Windows Server 2008 R2 with Service Pack 1 for Itanium-Based Systems Evaluation (180 days)"
? I'm not sure Itanium is supported on proxmox...

and this
http://download.cnet.com/Windows-7-and-Windows-Server-2008-R2-SP1-ISO/3000-18513_4-75451017.html
is "Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 ISO"...? o I feel this is a a service pack, not an install ISO... so it can't boot a machine...


...may I ask what are you trying to achieve ? ;)
