Hello, I recently installed Proxmox VE 9.1.4 on a 2012 Mac mini and have been trying to deploy a new VM based on a qcow2 cloud image. I've mainly been trying to use the latest CentOS Stream 10 image, but have also tried others, including Ubuntu Server 24.04.
In each case, I have downloaded the qcow2 image into local storage from the import view:
The configuration that I'm most convinced should be correct is:
Each time I try to boot the image, I'm greeted with the same message:
In my research, I've found that the most common problem usually is that secure boot is enabled, but it is not:
I also tried following advice from this Wiki to modify UEFI boot entries, but I don't see anything in the file explorer:
I also tried manually importing the qcow2 image per the advice here: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/f...age-disk-uefi-access-denied.99892/post-832900
I've also tried what feels like every combination of the configuration options for SCSI controller, disk device type, machine type, boot order, processor type, etc. etc.
I also tried using the default SeaBIOS type but that put the VM into a boot loop showing the Proxmox splash screen and the screen to pick the device to boot.
I was also able to reproduce the same issue on a different (also newly installed) Proxmox host on an Asus motherboard, so pretty different host hardware.
Any suggestion would be appreciated, I'm pretty stumped here!
