I don't understand. Rewrite or better make a small video capture as GIF (PM me if you prefer).
Passthrough of physical disk works, but VHDX of said disk doesnt boot
- Thread starter m.brederode
- Start date
I corrected a few typos in the post if that helps.
I'll decribe how I got that screenshot below:
1) boot vm and press F8 when I get the option to select an OS
2) select "safe mode with networking"
3) windows starts in safe mode
4) I restart windows through the windows start menu
5) windows tries to start normally but after a while I get the graphic recovery menu
6) I select the option to start windows normally
7) Nothing happens and I only see the proxmox logo with the text at the top of the screen..
(See attached screenshot)

How about F8 then Normal boot ?
edit: btw, if safemode boot, problem should elsewhere.

Then I just get a black screen with the Proxmox logo.
Maybe it's doing stuff in the background an I'm too impatient? Max I've waited is about 5 minutes.
The fact that the image works perfectly fine in Hyper-v really surprised me.

The fact is more about the NVMe as passthrough works perfectly.
I should try backup/restore with third party like Paragon/Acronis.

Tried clonezilla already but didn't work sadly.
I'm also going to try and install server with a legacy bios (seabios) and then just clone the contents of my C: drive.
A bit oldschool, but it might just work.
The thing that I can't understand is why it boots fine in safemode but wont start normally and doesn't even throw a bsod or an error..

I did but when I tried to qm importdisk I got "Could not open '/mnt/C/C.qcow2' : Image is not in qcow2 format"
What was the original
dd file called? It is probably/should be in .raw format.Anyway, you could just copy that file manually to the VM's images Storage location folder (the folder will have its' name the same as the VMID) & then enter the command
qm disk rescan <VMID> to add that image as an unused drive in the VM's config. You then go to VM's hardware in GUI & attach that as a used disk with the appropriate interface you want.
